Slower processing for non-FE orders

Is this something vendors tend to do? I ordered from a pretty reputable vendor the other day and it hasn't shipped yet, although it's been marked as confirmed. I'm not sure if he is intentionally being slow because I didn't FE or what. There is no mention of an FE requirement in the product listing or the profile, but some of the reviews I've read on here mentioned fast processing. That's not what I'm seeing, though, so I wonder if that might be what's going on

Well, I'm sure there are some vendors that do this, but I haven't experienced this. Unless the vendor is an "FE Only" vendor, it ships when it ships. I've not found FE to speed up the process with the vendors I've used. Technically, a vendor has way more incentive to send out escrow orders quickly b/c their is coin tied up - they want you to get your order ASAP so you'll release escrow ASAP.

Would you ever consider using a multisig-only market in the future? Then the vendor has no incentive to prioritize FE or non-FE, because FE isn't necessary at all because he knows the money is safely locked in the multisig address. And you know he has incentive to complete the trade because he doesn't get FE. Both parties are safer.
