Title: What's going on with vendors recently?
Post by: wallacekim on November 05, 2012, 05:27 am
Just tried to purchase from at least 3 different vendors (not naming anyone) and they all held my money for a bit, then went into vacation mode. Now, 3 vendors that I have been trying to do business with are all in vacation mode, and they're all for MDMA crystals too. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Alot of people on here import and resell domestically.

With the hurricane affecting E Coast mail service, delays from supertrips etc I am sure alot of them are just waiting on their packages to come to send your package

This is really really weird indeed, I am a EU-buyer and just got some coin on my wallet and made some purchases on saturday, only to see that two have removed their listings by now and all of their recent 2-10 feedbacks have become ''didnt arrive''.

And these are stand-up and very well-known vendors. What is going on?

the log in counter isn't working. a vend account is set to vacation automatically after what? 48 hours not logging in.... so every vendor is on vacation unless they caught it. that with connection issues and there won't be anyone left by morning

Speaking of the hurricane.  I wanted to place 3 orders today. I got all that I wanted lined up this morning and was going to purchase now (tonight), but listings have been taken down. Oh well. I was only going to order domestically due to the whole NE storm in the U.S.  I read that the USPS is in "emergency mode" after the storm, mainly due to getting all the vote by mail election ballots out for Tuesday and all.   There are disruptions in the NE for sure, that cannot be avoided. There has been emergency re-locations of offices due to the storm. Pretty much all areas in the NY customs entry point are affected somehow.  We will have to wait a bit and see how quick things get back to normal.

SR has been playing up recently.  Settings are being played around with unintentional.  Vendors are experiencing this problem.  They do not change the settings.  SR does it by default.  Have you not noticed how difficult it is to get onto SR lately?  Well the SR server is being flooded and strange things are happening.  Do not worry.  I am sure they will sort it out :)

Switches to vacation mode at random intervals. Pretty annoying if your away from your computer for a long period of time. At least the log in problems are easing up a bit.

I think this is the same issue as in this post? http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=65547.0 but it seems to be a problem with sr beacuse some listings or coming back and then disappearing again.
