Using alphabay with current active warnings?

Should I currently not use alphabay to purchase due to the active warnings? If so any recommendations on other markets? I am new to this.

AB is fine. There is a lot of hate towards it (Carders, EVO/Russians, Carders, BigMuscle etc.) but as most of the vendors are there, and other markets are not "blameless" either and have issues

AB is fine. Just make sure you check a vendors feedback/last login etc before placing an order. The support staff like /u/trappy_AB are very good at answering questions around here, and I personally haven't had any problems with resolving issues on the site. As long as you go through a reputable vendor and stay smart, you likely won't even have to use the dispute feature or anything.

When transferring btc to AB wallet though, be sure to either include a decent sized bitcoin transfer fee or wait for a while for it to confirm. This isn't AB's fault but is because of the blockchain being so blocked up. A lot of people interpret the long wait as being some AB scam when in reality it is most commonly a result of low transaction fees.
