It’s tough for noobs, but two of my first three orders didn’t turn up and I was refunded in full despite thinking that escrow probably wasn’t a real thing! Both vendors had simply buggered off which always helps in a dispute but they had good rep up to that point- I was just unlucky in my noob choices.

The longer you are here and the more buys you have then statistically you are more likely to experience a dispute situation. The system is there to be used…
