[Pandora] 24% comission on vendors, buyers unable to withdraw??? BEWARE

So I have almost $900 on hold now with a vendor, I placed an order today and Pandora has apparently started 24% comission on vendors which has caused my particular vendor, NationChemz, to halt orders. Pandora has also disabled buyer withdrawals, so even if I ask NCZ for a refund I can't get my money back....

Just putting that out to all buyers, BEWARE. Sources: http://bl3j73taluhwidx5.onion/index.php?topic=6518.0 http://bl3j73taluhwidx5.onion/index.php?topic=6338.msg33665#msg33665

So this Alice character is more and more like a landlord with a crack addiction. :)

Sketchy as fuck. Always have gotten a bad vibe from them, not sure why. Shitty interface and seemingly absent support. I'd advise people to stay away till this shakes out.

24%? 24%! Fuck they must be raking it in.

How can they charge 24%. That's hefty, that's almost a stack for a 4k order

just withdrew funds literally 20 seconds ago.

vendor fee being 24% is true though.

Anyone else who can recommend a good Marketplace with cheaper comissions? Pandora is so freaking expensive. I tried angora but there are just a few german vendors. That being said, im searching for a marketplace with a lot EU or rather german vendors. Help appreciated :)

Fucks sake, placed an order about 36 hours ago, any idea if it will be affected? No vendor confirmation yet. Checked out my vendor to make sure he was legit, didnt look far enough back to make sure Pandora itself was legit ><

The withdraws do work but are slightly broke. I had an issues (I posted a thread) in which I could not withdraw $1000. AFter 12 hours and repetitive attempts (no response from US support of FR support) I was finally able to withdraw.

I would like to throw out the suggestion that maybe there isn't enough in the hot wallet? Either replenshing of it is not very timely or automated or the site isn't solvent and requires finalizations to produce funds to withdraw.

Perhaps the 27% percent was a quick solution. Gets blamed on an error and allows payment of outstanding withdraws. "We'll fix in a few days and replace" style SR2.0 loan?

Just an idea.

EDIT: Verified with another vendor I had a small order on. 24%

Pandora is run by a PBF staff member, what do you expect, they fell short on the first scam so now they have to make up for it

I don't mean to cause panic.... But this sounds like something that would happen RIGHT before they cut and run. Escrow didn't have enough coin in it, so raise the commission rate to an amount that is super high but that no one notices for a couple days.

Ugh I hope I'm wrong. Hopefully you all can get your money out.
