I am a new buyer on SR and I have found that the vendor bearfoot has something I want. I only have 2 transactions (both were flawless), but bearfoot has 0! I am considering ordering from this vendor anyway, because his profile page looks okay, prices are fair and he ships within 1 business day. However, I'm a bit unsure, because he has been a vendor for 1 month and has 0 transactions and no feedback. Any advice on this is appreciated.

Buy from him and stay in escrow. He can't force you to finalize early.
-
Yes...whatever you do, make sure to stay in escrow and don't FE!
-
Okay, thank you. He says on his page that he doesn't trade with buyers with less than 5 purchases, so we'll see if I can get a deal with him :) I definitely won't FE. My biggest concern is that he is LE.

Hi,
I appreciate the concern; we all started as a buyer/seller with 0 transactions at one point. So far I've had 5 transactions, all successful that I know of (2 still in transit). I've gotten great feedback, see here --- http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/silkroad/user/9006dd5379, and have even had to turn some buyers away :'(.
I'm definitely not LE, although I can't prove that to you. Same with everyone else that's a vendor, you've just got to take a risk based on the reviews. I'm just here to make some money without exposing myself to much risk, so I definitely won't put my customers in any extra risk. My prices are low so that my supply will sell out as quickly as possible and I won't build up any heat from LE.
I agree with all the other members; DON'T FINALIZE EARLY!!! The escrow system protects both of us and we pay for the use of it anyways, so why wouldn't you? ::)
If all this sounds good, take a chance on me, I'll probably return the favor. ;D

Saw from your profile that you're in Sweden. I can't ship outside the USA right now, unfortunately. :'(
Sorry for the confusion.

Consider putting that on your profile page. Also, that's not the reason you gave me, you weren't even aware that I am from Sweden when you made your decision. For the future it would be cool if you told people you decide not to ship to them by replying to their PM instead of ignoring them once you've decided you don't want to ship to them.

I have updated my policies since then, and all my policies are clearly stated on my profile page. I like happy customers, and would like to resolve this issue, but again, I can't ship out of the USA now. If there is something else I can do to resolve it, please let me know, either via PM or on Silk Road.

Yes, there is. You can write my English essay due next week. Do we have a deal? :)

Hey Bearfoot, just got my order. I cannot get on to SR to finalize! I will keep trying.
Shipped the morning after I ordered and arrived 3 days later, perfect! Got more than I expected too, very generous! Very good communication as well. I wish all transactions went this smoothly...
Thank you Bearfoot, keep up the good work. I highly encourage anyone to check out Bearfoot's page and get some pills for a heck of a price and great shipping speed. ;)

Stay in escrow with ANY vendor. Even if he/she has 500 transactions (I don't the profile let's them list more than 300), always stay in escrow as it is the buyers only protection from losing their $$$.

I absolutely agree! I don't trust any vendors I buy from (on a different account, obviously...) and don't expect anyone to immediately trust me. I never FE myself and won't ever require FE. Escrow keeps both seller and buyer honest, or at least safe, so use it!
