Not all transactions that are finalized early are done so at the request of the vendor. I've had buyers ask me about it and still do it after I encourage them to stay in escrow. Some buyers just want to clear the transaction for whatever reason. Some wait to finalize until just before it auto finalizes. But most stay in escrow and finalize shortly after they receive their package/test their gear. There just is no perfect system and people who want to scam people will find a way no matter what barriers are put in front of them. I don't understand that mentality, but I know it's out there. I will continue to be an honest vendor who encourages their buyers to stay in escrow and hope that eventually all vendors on here are of the same mindset when it comes to providing service to the buyers. It makes me upset that there have been so many scammers on here. Short of requiring charity transactions (you MUST provide some number of transactions for free), I don't think there is a system that the SR staff can design that will deter 100% of the scamming vendors:(
