Side note: I'll make a full review thread for this guy when he let's me know it's fine to use his vendor username on an outside site.
So, this weekend I was hoping to get a bit of crystal before thanksgiving and placed an order for 1g with a slightly new vendor that offered express shipping. It was a bit later in the day Saturday, so I didn't expect any activity until Monday. When Monday came around, AlphaBay notified me that the order was automatically cancelled due to inactivity, after barely two days. I figured I was out of luck to get any before thursday, so I just placed a different order. Today I received a message from the vendor, saying he wasn't sure what was up with the order auto-cancelling but it was shipped out and asked if I could just send him the funds for the order to his BTC address when received. It arrived today and looks quite overweight. I let him know that I wouldn't be able to get any BTC until Friday, since I spent the refunded coins.
Has this happened to anyone else lately? I have no idea why AB's auto cancellation/refund would kick in so soon
AlphaBay really needs to add an option for vendors to be able to accept orders like on nucleus.
If the seller doesn't mark an order shipped within 3 days then the site will auto decline.
They should make it 2 days, then add an extra 2 when the order is accepted.
