Should I avoid AlphaBay?

I am about to make my first Darknet purchase of a personal use amount after researching for about 2 weeks, and was wondering if I should avoid Alphabay. It definitely seems like the most popular market but I hear allot about them scamming and and now phishing. I have found some sellers there that i'm interested in and I just wanted to ask if there is anything to be worried about.. Thanks in advance

Ignore the fud. The site is functional.

I'd rather use DHL, nucleus, or dream, in that order.

99% of what users say about Alphabay is pure FUD. The next 1% is users getting phished, or actual issues that end up getting fixed. Though you should check out some of the smaller markets some time like ACAS, Dream, and Hansa.

Always use 2-FA

as long as you have 2-fa enabled you are fine

I got banned a few days ago for bullshit reasons just as I started vending.

No trial or jury, just cut off. My funds gone and I cannot access thousands of pounds worth of info I have on there.

And there's fuck all I can do about it. The mods aren't responding.

AlphaBay is great! It's the scammers and phishing links that are causing the problems. Those are what you want to avoid...

Alphabay has been the only market I have used since Agora left. I have never had a problem in 10+ orders on AB.
