Hello, all! I'm a new vendor and boy is it hard! Since we new vendors can't access the vendor forum until we get verified, I thought we might want to band together in some way and share information. I'll maintain the thread, updating the OP with all important data. Perhaps we may even have blacklisted scammer names to share here as well. I'm open to ideas. Maybe a mod can sticky it!

1. Keep your Sample listing active! If you delete a listing all the feedback for it "disappears". This is why we see listings for a gram of weed that are $87,000. It keeps the listing active while eliminating the chance someone will actually order it. Apparently this can be done indefinitely.
2. Feedback is now weighted by price. FREE samples are worth 0.00 to your ratings. This is new since the feedback update implemented this week. So what use is a sample give-away now to us New Vendors? It does establish that we are authentic vendors, with a real product, and that we can get the packaging right, get it delivered, etc. It just will not help our rating numbers.
So you all understand the brutal truth now: 10 samples given for a 0.00 price with 5/5 feedback from the buyers still equals 0/0 ratings for you! This is the new system!
We may need to start doing samples at .001 BTC or somesuch just to get some rating from them.
Ok New Vendors, chime in!
