So I ordered something from a vendor and they told me to pay upon arrival, is that weird? I let them know that I got the product and they told me to send coins to a specific wallet instead of just going through the store. I find that weird...any help would be welcomed.
Edit: Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I was just looking out for my safety since I haven't done a transaction in this way before. Sounds like I had nothing to be worried about.
Bitcoin was made to FREE us from financial tyranny, not involve alphabay in our private business.
That guy must be a good vendor, because in essence HE FE'd for YOU. But he can ask you to pass the butter himself, he doesn't have to ask alphabay to ask you.
You got your drugs without becoming a fraud victim, so don't pay alphabay! Pay the vendor!
