TMP on Wall of Shame for Weak Sauce

Saw that TMP was on the Wall of Shame because of two really weak issues from over a month ago:

1.) The user was effected by a bug that was patched back in May by Schultz and refund was offered to the effected parties.

2.) A seller physically shipped an order befor marking the order shipped and TMP's buyer protection measures auto-canceled the orders after not being marked shipped for 4 days. A case of a seller needing to mark the order shipped before dropping the package. Same expectation you'd have with an order on eBay or Amazon.

Seems like if issues that small are all it takes to land on the Wall of Shame, the whole side bar should be filled with warnings.

TMP is a ghost town and good luck trying to get a response from the admins. It is a model of the future of DNM but what's the point if you can't buy much of anything from it?

I liked TMP. They actually offer true multisig & i2p is better than tor for a hidden service. But the refund process is pretty broken, support is now entirely absent, and too few people use the site. I've had nothing but good experiences with the vendors there & I really tried to promote the site back in its early days. But now I feel that I have to move on to other markets that are actually maintained.

Hi,

Thank you for bring this to our attention. We are in process of remedy this now. We have been lazy with The Marketplace after it was not an instant success, we will be replying more vigilantly go forward and have many updated done but not release. We have slowly been become more active by reply to many vendors lately and we still have many orders per day so situation seem to be exajurated.

We will post updates shortly.

(Copied from subreddit i in no way represent Schultz or TMP)

Seems they are trying to sort it out and this has now been brought to their attention.

yeah wasnt there something about admins making no effort and never sorting out disputes? i wasnt fond of TMP to start with but i deffo wont go near it now, all seems a bit fishy. im gonna stick to agora for now

Most markets don't have subreddits and forums apparently devoted entirely to complaining about lack of support.


[1 Points] Thechemicallyminded:

They're on the wall because the admins have gone missing and a hidden service without a proper resolution/dispute center team is not safe for customers or vendors.

They had a good theory but their implementation was too convoluted and their follow up was poor. Now there are more markets with easier to use multi-sig that don't require i2p.
