Do I have bad luck or am I being scammed?

So I've tried dark net markets twice now, buying 7g of weed on SR2 a few months ago when it was still a thing (vendor was called Trava!), but my package never arrived and I never got compensation. Second time around was the same 7g of weed from agora from a vendor called Harrods, and it's not turned up two days after it was supposed to have arrived by.

Both sellers had good rep, but I have given both my money and have received nothing.

Is this just bad luck through the postal service or am I missing some vital information?

Yes, escrow.

Are you keeping funds in escrow or are these both FE deals? These are both UK vendors aren't they? TIf so they should be pretty much next day delivery (providing you are also from the UK?)

Well I dont know about Harrods but I can tell you that Trava is my go to guy. I must have ordered 20 times of him now and have never had a problem. Furthermore he is an excellent communicator and I would find it very hard to believe that you could not come to sort of resolution with him. I think you must have been unlucky dude. Peace out

Never use SR2. Look at the 'i got scammed' threads here, 99% of them are 'I FE'd because he was trustworthy and I did deals with him before' or 'SR2'.

SR2 is a joke.

honestly ive never heard of either of these vendors before... but im in canada... so its not hard for me to get good weed... that being said. research you're vendors on the forums here (look for reviews) or on the SR forums/other darknet sites forums.... you cant tell if a vendor is a scammer just from feedback alone

How sure are you about their rep? A lot of sellers with "good" feedback, look at sr1 and 2 for example, are really just pages of shill accounts posting 5/5's to water down the 1/5 scammer reports. This is pretty easy to do when customer accounts are free and you can just run a few hundred $0 transactions to get free feedback. The best surefire way to check would really be cross referencing between reddit/darknet forums/and actual market reviews to see that nothing seems off.

Just in general always be worried about shill accounts, check users comment history on places like reddit and other forums to see who vouching for products, what their comment history is like, and how long it is. Agora also has a good rating system for buyers so you can see who reputable buyers with valuable feedback and a long purchasing history are recommending. Nothing is ever definite, you can only do your research.

Both UK vendors. You sound from the UK. As long as you didn't FE, I dont see why they would be getting held up.

Have you contacted the vendor(s)?

Buy from vendors that are actually reputable ... who are those vendors?

i'd say at least 83 percent of all DMN operators are LE/scammers
