Long story short, I had been using Agora happily till it was shut down and had to move to AlphaBay for the product i required because similar product was not available elsewhere (Abraxas/Nucleus). After communicating with the seller i made my purchase worth USD 321.49 on 10 September 2015, left my address as buyer notes which was encrypted using the Public PGP key the seller provided. Never got the order after waiting for 10 days out of which 7 were business days, the auto finalize was going to trigger in 14 days from the date of purchase. So i placed order dispute on 13th day from the date of purchase to stop the escrow amount from finalizing. A mod on AlphaBay called BigMuscles was assigned to my dispute (Dispute #296282) on 24 September 2015. I gave all relevant proofs pertaining to my dispute. The mod without even responding to the dispute closed the dispute in favour of the seller on 26 September 2015. I tried contacting senior mod and the BigMuscles but never got any response from them. An expensive lesson learned, won't recommend anyone to buy anything off from AlphaBay. Proof: http://ibin.co/2HHKiingY9JQ
