Title: If you absolutely must FE, please actually update your feedback upon arrival
Post by: blackend646 on July 09, 2012, 07:11 am
Has anyone else ever been in this situation?

You see a listing for a product you've been dying to try, at a price you can afford and being sold by a vendor with 100% feedback. You start to get excited, check out the vendors page and see they have a sizeable amount of transactions. Finally! The product you've been dying to try (Ketamine & LSD in my case) is within your grasp.

You scroll down, and see the vendors feedback is a wall of "FE - will update when received". Nearly every single piece of feedback, days, weeks, or months old is exactly that.


If you really feel the need to bypass your only means of protection on here, that's your right. But if you don't update your feedback when you receive the product, or when the vendor screws you over, it messes things up for everyone. How is anybody supposed to know if a vendor is actually trustworthy if all of the feedback on his page is "FE WILL UPDATE LATER"?

 How is a legitimate vendor that you so generously decided to float your money to, and actually didn't decide to fuck you over supposed to expand his/her customer base if everyone who finalized early for them doesn't mention that they actually received their order?


tl;dr

If you are going to finalize early, which you shouldn't, please actually update your feedback when you do or don't receive your package.

Exactly in the same boat, the noriega boat (the actual http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Noriega did have plenty of boats btw).
Thats why as a vendor and buyer here, i'm not going to stress the FE thing. If they want FE from me, they can suck it, it just dosn't work that way.
As a vendor, i dont mind either way, i'm telling my customers who insist on FE i say, dont do it, relax, wait till you get your stuff. Then give me a fair appraisal on my product. Hells know, i stuffed up a couple of times, and i've fixed that, most recenetly was sending out pills were whole on my side, went through the mail sorting machine crushed up.
Thats why you dont FE at all, no need, vendors make mistakes and make sure they know the mistakes they are making. Constructive criticism.

Agreed 100%.

Another thing that gets me is when people write "FE for trusted vendor" when the vendor has been around for 10 days and all of their "sales" are other people who finalized early. How the hell does that make them "trusted"?

But that is another thread entirely

Sorry if I'm lame, but I'm new here, please excuse the lameness...

I haven't FE'd , but I had two fast successful deliveries. Gave 5 stars to both and finalized on delivery. One I said I would report back after sampling the product ( which was good, btw ).

Sooo, how do you make another report on the same delivery, after you finalized and it disappears from your order directory?

Thanks, for any pointers, and I think the answer would be good further the OP's goal to edumacate the masses that say they'll come back to report. I'm sure it must be something easy I missed...

On your accounts page, there is a view feedback on the right there.

Thanks, found it. I knew it would be something easy, just didn't occur to me to look on accounts page     ;)

I only have a couple of purchases so some vendors still ask me to fe. Would it be too hard to have a leave feedback later option? I always go back and update my feedback, but having "FE" as feedback for a week is pretty useless.

Its tough when you're new and got no stats to have the escrow system working for you.
Just do small ones first, and local, don't need to be much money. As a vendor what you see from a client is number of purchases and then a % (at a glance), the % is auto-finalise and/or refunds. We can click on this link to further investigate the person i.e. how much money has been spent on SR number of transactions auto finalise rate.

So bascially what i'm saying to you is get your number of parcels through. Get some small stuff sent to you. $30 for some valiums from a local dude, sweet that sounds great even if i FE i've only lost $30.
Then when you got some small orders done, you can work in escrow. cause your numbers will have changed, it will be 10/0% (meaning ten orders done perfectly). So when you want to buy something off of someone who wants FE you can tell em escrow exists for a reason, and i'm using it.
