Should we be FE'ing

Considering markets go down every thirty seconds now, should we always FE with vendors, that way if the market goes down while our pack is in transit or waiting to ship we don't lose our coin due to escrow?

Obviously this comes with a lot of risk, but in the current state of things we really can't trust markets to last more than an hour or two, and pulling escrow triggers seems risky as fuck.

When AB and Hansa went down, I had orders in escrow on both. All shipped cause the vendors were stand up dudes. FE is not the answer unless it's a trusted vendor.

If the vendor has been around longer than the market, that means the vendor is more trustworthy than the escrow scheme.

There's no correct answer to this question. It is risky for a buyer, but vendors loose way more money when market exits. You have to trust a vendor you're going to fe with.

Just go to any vendor's feedback page and see how many people are FE'ing willingly without the vendor even asking for it.

The money is lost because of Escrow. This applies in the context where a market gets seized or exit scam. After all, this is what has been happening for quite some time now.
