Alphabay monitoring/regulating of vendors? No opportunity for feedback increases selective scamming.

Okay - so there are some vendors out there who require FE. Yes, I know. I hate FE but I hate ordering internationally more, and this was a rare item I coveted. But AB removes the option of feedback 30 days after finalizing. But there are reviews for this vendor saying it took six weeks to arrive...

He has my money. It's been two months. He won't reship because he accuses me of pretending it didn't come. But when you a) require FE, b) REFUSE to track parcels, it's my word against his. AT least let the hive mind of actual customers rise to the top to help other customers avoid this scammer.

I believe this vendor is buying and selling from himself to pad his reviews so that people keep buying from him, but stretching out the 'it'll come, I know I sent it to you' so that the folks being scammed have ABSOLUTELY ZERO opportunity to provide helpful feedback to other would be shoppers.

Just wondering, is this something that AB has ever made any effort to fix? If you ALLOW FE, you need to allow extended feedback time.

Ab doesn't fix anything. There was two threads about discover1 selling bunk products, one had a test showing his hydro capaules were codeine and some other crap. Trappy posted saying that the alphabay team was discussing him.

He was still active there two days ago, selling those obviously bs hydrocodone capsules. I'm sure he is now, but I don't have the time to check right now.

Alphabay only cares about whoever is bringing them more money. I understand they are running a business and businesses are about making money. But AB should care more about their public reputation, but it must not be hurting their bottom line.

I think the markets and vendors put in enough effort to marginalize all these threads by down voting and posting misinformation under their shill accounts. The negative threads blow up for 12-24 hours and get lost in the mess that this subreddit has become. Name and shame clearly isn't working for the 99% of people who don't read every thread.
