Argh..I'm so sick of going through listings and finding Vendors who if they are not active scammers have all the hallmarks of one,
I'm not joking when I say is anyone else here interested in setting up a kinda "ratings agency" for vendors here.. Sort of like a "Standards & Poors" or "Moodys" for Silk road *We can come up with a cool name for it later :)
Anyway here is my assessment for "FEEDTHE NEED" Profile link : http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/79ad04fe35/10
1. He is offering lots of "freebies" to improve his ratings after he either fucked up in the past or scammed people and now is trying to get back in the game. Nearly ll the reviews I see on these are "FE" or "Product never came" Also the shipping costs are huge so nothing is really "free" (Who charges $9 to post a tiny metal pipe domestic)
2. On his profile page, Buyers are encouraged to use privnote.com (or pgp) but since only about 10% use pgp if he has 90% of people using a service that means they have no power in a resolution center dispute he can easily say he sent good and get away with it.
3. Conflicting past story, In some places he claims the account was hacked and in others "SR is tarnished due to me taking a break and not servicing all orders" link" http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/23972fc254/60
4. consistent feedback claiming what's being sold is not what's in the picture
many more 1/5's for free items not arriving so perhaps the guy is just a incompetent vendor but based on the privinote requests, past problems with their account I would say the best rating I could give this guys for now would be C-- with a negative outlook since he cant seem to even get it together when trying to fix things

Anyone??? Or is this even the right place to post?
