Status will change once the vendor ships your product, displaying "In transit". from then on its waiting.

hmm, but i thought he wanted new people to FE , but wouldn't that be before he ships ? else whats the point in FE. If someone was going to try and rip him off they would just order , he would ship and then expect the buyer to finalize but to late by then ?

think you missed the point of my question.

I can't FE yet, but i was asking how FE protects the vendor from getting ripped off if he has to ship first before the buyer can FE

Putting a check mark in "yes I have sent this item" is easy for a vendor, noone can verify that it is actually on its way. So the vendor just marks the item as "sent", but will only send it for real if you finalize.

hmm, odd

Obviously they can do that but a whole load of the vendors ask new people and/or large quantities to FE or they wont deal and these are reputable vendors. If they are just "saying" they have dispatched when they have not and doing it quite openly what does SR have to say about this ?

I mean they are in good standing with good feedback coming in every hour almost , 50% of whom have FE'ed but SR is quite happy with them clicking dispatched when they haven't

Not really that worried , just curious

I think until the vendor marks it in transit, you cannot FE. Partially that is probably because the vendor may decide not to accept the order at all. If it's a decent vendor, good reputation, etc., I wouldn't hestitate to FE if asked to do so, but granted, yes it is more risk for the buyer that way.
