I just made my first order the other day. But instead of going through eskrow, i just sent the funds directly to his username.
Yeah stupid mistake, but SR told me vendor should not have accepted the payment anyway.
Vendor replied and said he had recieved the coins. But now no reply regarding tracking number or anything...
Are my coins gone? This vendor seemed legit and he's local. Has anyone done this and lost their coins?
-
Damn you posted 30 times on the forums and don't know how to properly purchase an item?
-
Who was the vendor? I'd say ur coins are gone. Unless he says otherwise, or the package arrives, NEVER go around escrow it's there for YOUR protection, and piece of mind :)
-
If you're lucky and the vendors a good dude everything should be alright.
-
Possibly, Ive made the FE mistake and have gotten lucky, let it be a lesson learned
-
Well what can i say blowdrobro, it was a big build up, and he said he would waive the express shipping fee so it just made more sense to just send them that way...
The vendor seems alright, but has only been a member for 3 months but with very good feedback..Bolder the vendor is -(alchemister)
I've noticed he has logged on today but still no reply from any of my other messages, so i have a bad feeling....when a vendor doesnt communicate, then i worry.
Maybe i've jumped the gun i dont know. But SR said to me he runs the risk of being banned if he doesnt return my coins, so i should be ok..
Was only a very small order, so i'm sure he wouldnt risk further sales for a measly $150.
I was surprised he waived the shipping fee. I had the amount for my order, but just ran short of having enough for express postage.
But what threw me was, first time he said it would go road mail, then he said he would express it so he could track it..but i know you can have anything tracked, regardless of road or air..
Anyway fingers crossed. If no reply from him/her today, i'll know i've been ripped from my first order. Could kick myself. >:(
-
Well express is safer (for non-bulk) then regular, and you can insure the package.
-
Yeah i know. But again a simple email/message would be great.
I had to message him to confirm he had recieved my coins, which he did.
Maybe some vendors dont like to communicate much, just take the order and send?
If i was a vendor, i would keep them up to date. ;)

Many do this. Usually the more busy ones, and you said he was only around for 3 months.
Still if he has feedback then I'd just cross your fingers for a few days.
-
Yeah his feedback seems good. I really wanted to go through Matrix, but he had zero stock just when i was about to order, so my timing was very bad.
I have to say overseas prices are so hard to ignore... so Ivory will be my next order, he looks awesome to deal with.
Anyway fingers crossed i'm good. ::)
-
Just recieved a message from vendor. All good....phew! But yeah SR said dont do it again or you will lose your coins!
Wont be repeating that mistake again.. :P Now i can enjoy my weekend....once i score some weed that is.... :P
