Escrow and disputes

Vendors post a bond, and new ones cannot use finalise-early until they have run a few clean orders. Each vendor page shows a deal count and a dispute ratio. Read both before you order. It takes about a minute and it is the single most useful minute you will spend on the market.

The escrow flow is the standard one: fund, ship, confirm, release. For a first order the instruction is to let escrow do its job. Do not confirm receipt until the package is physically in your hands, whatever a vendor tells you about their shipping being reliable.

The friendly interface makes it easy to move fast. Move slow on the first order. The habits you build on the gentle market are the habits that keep you safe on the spartan one.
