Please post vendors that you know are buyer friendly along with a link the their profile and what they generally sell. I'll update this post as often as I can with the buyers you post.
With all the recent scamming going on, I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of vendors that don't require new buyers to finalize early. This will help buyers build reputation and protect them from getting scammed.
First, a couple basic rules for new buyers to think about. First and foremost...
NEVER FINALIZE EARLY OR DO BUSINESS OUT OF ESCROW!!!
No matter how good the deal is. I can not stress this enough. Take it from me who just got screwed out of around $400, along with a shit ton of other people, from a vendor with 100% feedback and over 200 transactions.
Also pay attention to small things like what the max number is for a particular product a vendor is selling. If a vendor is selling 100 vikes an order, and the max numbers of orders is something like 20, you should realize that the chances that this vendors has their hands on 2000+ vikes is HIGHLY unlikely.
New buyers should use the list and make small purchases to start off with to build reputation. This will give some comfort to vendors and be less likely to try and make you finalize early. Don't fall for that age old excuse that a vendor needs the money ASAP so they can order more product to sell. They can go into vacation for a couple days to get their money out and product built back up if need be. I actually think buyers should be able to report vendors that are trying to require people to FE.
Lets try and put an end to these long trusted buyers going rogue and deciding to fuck everybody before they go. You have to understand that this is a very lucrative tactic for buyers that are getting out of the business and looking for one last hoorah. I'm pretty sure toyotaman made off with at least 8k by doing this, so you can see what the appeal is.
I believe in this site and hate to see it go downhill so together we can do this!
Also, if this needs to be moved to a different forum then mods please feel free to do so. A sticky would be awesome as well :)

I don't think there's a comprehensive list of vendors that don't require early finalization, is there? I think that's what the OP meant.

That list ought to consist of damn near every single vendor on SR. Unfortunately, it does not.
