OK first timer here. Made an order, approx 24hrs cancel option came up, then few hours later I get the Finalize link. So I finalize & all is fine. Next order, been 48 hours - no cancel option yet - still processing. Thus funds are in limbo. How long before seller has to change status to 'in transit' so I can finalize or, if they do not, how long until cancel option comes up. If I do cancel how long does it take the BTCs to return to my SR account?
Thanks!

You should not finalize before the goods arrive. If you do, you are bypassing escrow and risking your money.

As stated earlier, "You should not finalize before the goods arrive. If you do, you are bypassing escrow and risking your money. " The idea is to finalize once the goods arrive, you can then finalize and give an accurate review and rating of the product. Doing so before the goods arrive puts your money at risk.

I'm clear on that part, do not bypass the escrow system, got it. I was wondering if when you do cancel your order are your BC's automatically transferred back into your account or are they caught up in some kind of limbo? Sorry for my ignorance in the matter, thank you for your patience...
I suppose it doesn't matter, if I have to cancel I'll find out and really can't change the outcome, but it would be comforting to know that the coin is deposited right back into my account.
I should have said "that's a good question" and indicated that I was referring to the last sentence in his post.

The coins transfer instantly back to your account when you cancel.
