Nothing because I only use Finalize Early. Once you cross the threshold of 10k orders processed with quality feedback its completely pointless to have escrow. Bohemia took over 30k from me and with that I swore to never put that much money on the line because people cant trust a vendor with so much reputation.
Depends man, you make new customers with Escrow and Retain good customers with FE. Personally I've always found large order customers to drop the cash the next day on me. and at the end of the day 5 day escrow isn't too bad.
It's FE-only vendors like with stellar reputations that are quintessential exit scammers. I have FE'd I think twice in the past five years and I have not lost money once.
I had a 7 day escrow period on bohemia and lost 30k. The average buyer isn't gonna feel a hit if their $100 order gets stolen. Its the cumulative affect it has on sellers that hurts.
Not a vendor but had a $1800 order waiting to be accepted :(
Hopefully BB just pulled the market before the group that was DDoSing Arche, could expose their servers & is in the process of relocating them / fixing the problem, which would be an extraordinary task to accomplish quickly.
I got very lucky since I was on vacation when the market went down, but i've lost around 10k total from exit scams over the years. Incognito got me good. So did alphabay.
I really hope BB is just working hard in the background and all the dread schizos are wrong, but things are not looking good.
