YEah 150 is clearly not enough to keep scambags out.
Scumbag scammers continue to operate. IVe reported at least 2 to silkroad and they continue to operate.
SilkRoad has lost a lot of my business. I found one of the Mephedrone suppliers was reselling me shit from a clearnet vendor. I now just shop at the clearnet vendors shop and buy the same legal RC that was labled as a illegal drug on silk road. I tried to order mephedrone from another vendor and the vendor sucked and I had to click cancel after 4 days of inactivity.
I ordered shrooms from 3 vendors and all I got was science experiments that couldn't get any of my friends high, and made some have diaera. Rocker finally came back and saved us from inferior Products.
The only vendors I reccomned are. norcal420hookup, mrhumboldt, rocker, and MegaNug. MrHumboldt's, and NorCal420hookup's MasterKush'es are great and will get you by in a drought. MrHumboldts Outdoor Hindu is amazing as well when it is in stock.
A very Clear and amazing respect goes out to the Pot 2 Peer Crew. They are the hardest working Tornet vendors out there barnone. Best Ever!!! Maybe not the best weed but the best weed prices and amazing service. I see their products coming out of the local dispensary here in podunk medical east coast state.

Agreed I am a vendor and would be more than happy to pay $500. If thats to much for you, then you would probably better of working at mcdonads or something instead of selling on sr.

2nd that ! +1
Vendors who cannot afford that are no vendors--they are idiots playing with fire or scammers..I would even go so far as to have new vendors depositing some anti-scam-bail of 1000$ extra which they get back after 50+ transactions..

I think SR should accept that FE is going to happen no matter what, and build some concept of it into the system.
If FE was a part of the process, SR could limit a vendor's FE balance withdrawal, it would clean up the review system as well as prevent scams from getting away with more then some fixed amount of money. Don't like it? Don't sell so much or fix your model so you can handle the offset.
This locked FE balance would basically default to the vendor unless it was an obvious case, in which it could at least mostly recover the losses of the poor saps who FE.

This not about FE. This is about dirtbags like AKGoofy and fixture saying they sent you your package and fucking you around for two weeks, and then arguing with you in resolution. untill finaly SR sees that the scamvendor is lying and gets me my coins back. If I had gotten the cannabis I would of sold it and ordered more. My paycheck depend on cannabis deliveries. Not getting cannabis means I aint getting paid. I order the shrooms but they are not that popular. Everyones to depressed in this obamanition. to want to trip. But everyone wants more cannabis.
during REsolution with AKGOOFY I demanded over and over that AKGOOFY's account be terminated. the account continues to operate. I had 1300 in escrow and got all of it back.

I think the scammers who have really made off would have laughed at $500. Scammers or professional con artists are generally willing to put funds up front.
I think a few scammers would be deterred by $500 but also that might stop some breaking their cherry selling small now and learning via SR how to condusct business.
Skills some learn here by becoming successful vendors can be utilized in RL.
I'm lucky to have spent enough to be able to stay in escrow.
No scammer will get me again. I only buy off vendors I had for almost 6 months.
I read the forums a lot and think some here are VERY knowledgeable people who we can learn a lot from.
I think asking people to put up $1000 is not going to deter any scammer who only has to sell top quality coke to 100 people then he or she can easily rope in newbies and even established members with those little offers, hidden listings.
I still see deals that ask for FE.
I'm talking small amounts also.
SR cannot stop stupidity and it is stupid to send maybe hundreds of dollars to someone on a promise.
Buyers who FE for big amounts ought to just buy grams and build up stats. Then when you can stay in escrow and buy increasing amounts you will get 200 grams of whatever in escrow and also with registered post or tracking.
SR does the best it can in what is a VERY difficult market to regulate.
No escrow in real life. Just thugs on steroids, coke and a bad upbringing if you have complaints over 25 grams of yayo.
I got scammed bv Tony and Speed Dok, both big players who would have put up $10,000 dollars to get on here. Lets face it, we now know HOW a scammer will work. Start small, send out top quality samples, sell more top quality, then set up 25 shill accounts to keep reporting on the 'top quality'. You also send out top quality to people with lots of posts.
Then its some excuse or incentive to FE, say 10% extra on deals or cut price ounces of MDMA, 8 balls of coke from heaven backed up by shills with accounts and shill forum accounts.
What is amazing is that so many vendors here are honest!
Coke aside, I see a lot of top quality stuff here and quality vendors who are on their game and are like clockwork.
Sadly any vendor can go awol. UK pharm was one of my favs for quality hash. Then it went down in quality and then he or they went.
Guess the key is NEVER buy a lot as a newbie.
And for vendors, you have a forum so can keep intel on users who keep getting shorted a lot. I have lost nothing in the post apart from 2 gram of hash some vendor said he sent but my bat radar says he was not being honest! I got my money back. Also got bad stats but its only 2% of the total so no worry there as no vendor will see 2% return as suspicious.
So, to end, I will say keep vendor fees the same.
Do not FE.
All will be well.
And vendors, find a way of tracking shit.
That stops lying scammers.
SR is winning. Most of us are happy with the service.
