Vendor doesn't mention anything about FE, but asks for it in message

So i ordered some product from a vendor with a very good reputation 4 days ago and he hasn't marked it shipped yet. so i messaged him asking what was up and he said something like "i've been waiting for you to finalize"... on his vendor page there is absolutely nothing saying that i had to finalize early and it doesnt say anything anywhere else either. the last five reviews or so say stuff like "FE, will update" but there arent any reviews new enough for the updates to have been posted. I'm just confused and it feels scammy to me idk. What do you guys think?

tldr: placed order from good reputation vendor, waited 4 days with no change in status. ask vendor what's up and he says "waiting on you to finalize," but nowhere on his page or the product page does it say i have to finalize early

Update: I've been in contact with the vendor and everything seems good. very nice guy (or girl) and kindly apologized for forgetting to ask for the FE. It's christmas and i'm sure they were busy and it was just a simple mistake. I dont mean to make TLS seem like a bad vendor or anything, our communications have been straight forward and i feel pretty confident that they'll pull through. i'll update with a review of the product when i get it

Name the vendor and we may be able to help you better.

Is this on Evo? If so, those reviews will never be updated. Why don't people just fucking hold off on writing something? Even if you could update a review, an "FE Will Update" is still fairly pointless except I guess you can get a count of how many orders have occurred.

thelemonadestand on agora. its just weird that there's nothing on their profile about it. i dont want to give people a bad impression of them or anything, i just thought this was weird. i searched the vendor page and the product page and found nothing about finalizing early anywhere.. another weird thing is that there are no reviews for the past like 15 days until 5 days ago. thats where people start talking about finalizing early. idk, i just wanted to double check with you guys before sending away my last bit of bitcoin to possibly never see it again. maybe im just 'noid

Personally, I wouldn't FE, I don't care if others say he's legit . It's a matter of principle. If he doesn't state on his profile then fuck him.

But he has many deals and I wonder if he would risk his reputation on this 1 order... so it's a risk for sure but up to you man.

Edit: I just read what you said about him not having any reviews until a few days ago when a bunch of "FE will updates popped up"... definitely more than a little risk...

Some ask for it if you're new to dnm.. aka not having many orders.
