So I bought ~1oz of weed from sanmo27 on AlphaBay and never got it. He has 184 positive feedback and around 8 negative feedback, who all say they never got their product and received zero communication from the seller.
I wasn't paying attention and didnt realize that my order was a 50% FE order. I never received my goods, and the seller did not respond to any of my messages. A moderator stepped in when I filed a dispute, and said the seller has 24h to respond. The seller then cancelled the order, essentially giving me a 50% refund.
It appears that this seller if fulfilling most of his orders, and making extra profits by selectively scamming people here and there by simply ignoring them.
The kicker is that once the seller cancels the order, you are no longer able to leave feedback. So this seller probably should have a ton of negative feedback.
Fuck AlphaBay and fuck sanmo27 . Why doesn't AB take some money out of his escrow account to refund me?
Also, which market can you all recommend in place of AlphaBay? I'm done with them.
Use Hansa Market. It uses Multi-sig, you dont even send coin to their market.
When multi-sig is used you are safe. its a 2 of 3 key turn system.
If you flaked out the market and the vendor turn their keys to loose the money, if the vendor flakes out , you and the market turn your keys, if the market exit scams you and the vendor turn your keys .
If you are not using multi-sig for transactions you are going to lose coin and get beat, so why use any other system?
BTW alphabay is a scammers market, based in fraud. so the admins dont really give a shit. , dont use AB unless you KNOW the vendor and even then, I would just ask the vendor to check out hansa, no upstanding vendor would mind a multi sig transaction.
