Title: My first order, question about escrow...
Post by: muckyluck on March 05, 2013, 06:35 am
OK
I placed my first order ever,
I sent the vendor my pgp encrypted address,
Selected postage, entered my passkey or whatever thats called...
and now I have an order with the status 'processing' and it's been like that for almost 48 hours.
I sent a message to the vendor to confirm that he got my order and address.

The thing I am concerned about is that, I don't remember ever getting any kind of confirmation of escrow... no selection box or anything.
The seller I bought from does have an excellent 100+ reputation though...
Can someone tell me how to get escrow on my next order?
--- oh yeah, and also, on my order status, it shows the text 'cancel' but it's greyed out... I can't click it... ???
Should I be worried?

You have no reason to be worried. Sometimes vendors take awhile to confirm and mark the purchase "in transit". If they take too long (3-4 days?) to mark confirm the order, you'll have the option to cancel, meaning that you'll be able to actually click cancel. You dont release your money to the vendor until you click "finalize", which isnt even an option until the purchase is marked in transit.

Peace and love
