Title: SR newb question
Post by: s33k3r0069 on October 11, 2012, 04:14 pm
hello to my fellow SR members! :D

I was very glad and excited to find the SR and got my bitcoins set up and made my first purchase yesterday from a well reviewed vendor.  I see when I check my order status it says processing.  When I hover over that it tells me "your seller is processing your order and should be sending it soon".  Under auto finalize it says N/A, then there is a place to cancel that tells me that you can do this after 4 days.   

My question is that once the vendor accepts the order will I have to finalize or accept the order? 

Thanks in advance and I am in <3 with the site and forums already :D  sure is easier than a plane ride to Amsterdam lol went twice last year, the Green House is my favorite!!!

You don't finalise until you've received the item. Some vendors will request that you finalise early (FE) - especially if you don't have any purchasing stats, but you don't have to.

ok cool, thanks for the reply!  I did FE early to save on shipping costs, and honestly from a well reviewed vendor and me being new that it would be good karma :D  I would give you +1 karma if I could figure out how!  I maybe too new, not sure

You can only dish out karma once you exceeded 100 posts. I can wait.

ok cool, I figured it was something like that

so if an order says processing now, it will update to something else when it has been shipped?
