I may be late to the party so this could have been covered but thought I would share my story. So i ordered from this 100 rated seller last friday about 30 btc worth of product, offered to finalize early since of his rating and a small order of a product that I wanted to try out. So 3 days pass and it still is processing with no communication and he hasnt been seen in 4 days. I was able to cancel the order which worked out fine for me but whats up with this gut?
-
1) Why did you finalize early? Why would anybody do this 'since of his ratings'?
2) How were you able to cancel the order if you did FE and you've had no communication?
Dolphan seems to go MIA here and there but he always has showed up. Your story doesn't really add up 30 btc, but small order that you were only trying? huh? FE but able to cancel? What?
-
Instead of picking my story apart and being a general obnoxious prick why not read it closer, I said I didnt finalize early but I offered to for this seller. The order was placed last week and today I went to check to see if if it was in transit but it wasnt. I have no clue why I was able to cancel it but I did and the funds were put back in my account. 30 btcs is a small order for me with someone I havent ever worked with before, just the way it is

He's a very reliable and good seller. Something crazy must be going on with him, but not a scammer.
-
Yea man... Dolfan2500 is good to go... I've made many many orders from him and have always been pleased. He's legit... At least as legit as drug dealers go:)
Also, don't post a big ass title saying he's a scammer when you haven't even lost any money. You're potentially ruining this guys reputation just by putting his name next to the word scammer. Now, when people breeze through the topics they will see that...
In fact - Can I request an admin change the title? Or could the original poster edit this? It's inflamatory and untrue. There is no scam.
Bobby - The system worked with your transaction. You got your money back. He is likely just busy and not processing orders.
-
He changes the title i Delete my post ;)

only on this forum does a seller take a weekend off so hes accused of being a scammer. the nerve of him thinking he can take weekend off, that piece of shit.

I know right... Vendors need to know that when they start selling this is their life now.... No weekends off, no holiday's....
Thanks to whoever changed the title:) Also, Bobbyweir - We aren't picking on you (that badly)... Just be careful of labeling people as either scammers or law enforcement... Those are two things that are taken very seriously in a community like this.. For obvious reasons, one takes your money and the other takes your freedom.. Both of which are very valuable:)

I've had several perfect transactions with dolfan. No worries.
-
Dolfan is a dependable, honest vendor with an excellent reputation. I've had many transactions with him, and have been happy with all of them.
Moreover, I believe him to be a decent fellow. I think he's been having to work through some issues lately, and I wish him the best

ill be a prick all I want when you go around calling legit sellers scammers. thats not what is needed around here. constructive comments sure, so learn from your mistake. secondly, you DID say you finalized early and now you edit your post to change it. what a dumbass, you're not so sneaky as it shows that you made an edit
be grateful that dolfan refunded you because he was probably out of product or wasn't able to ship. learn to be a more constructive and appreciative member of this community. for the last time, not really, it's not fucking amazon!
Dumbass?The only edit I made was to edit the thread title, I was VERY clear that I didnt finalize early, all I said was I WOULD finalize early for this seller and Im glad I didnt. Going on vacation is no excuse for not communicating. There are plenty of first rate sellers who wouldnt put their customers thru that so thats why I am sticking with them. I am glad people have had success w this seller and I am sure he is top notch but a little one line communication can go a long day. End of issue

I placed a order with him last Tuesday and received a message from his Thursday night saying that is going through some stuff with someone blackmailing him. He said someone hacked his Mt. Gox account and has his persoanl information, but said he is trying to work things out. My Order from last Tuesday was still processing 96 hours later on Saturday so I went ahead and cancelled my order and placed another order with someone else. I'm sure he will be back and get things straightened out however I was not willing to wait it out or take that risk.

You were able to cancel because 96 hours had elapsed with no change in order status. If, as you say, Dolfan hadn't been seen in three days, then it stands to reason that he couldn't communicate for whatever reason.
You got your coins back... End of issue.

Hrm... Seems to me there would be more to that... How would they find his MtGox account and link it to his SR account... Either way, being blackmailed is some heavy shit... I hope all goes well and the blackmailer gets hit by a semi-truck.
-
Yeh, I know about the whole 96 hour thing, not new to this. You can search his name on these forums and there are a few other people mentioned the same thing as I said. So, who knows what is going on, I'm sure someone will hear from him soon. If anyone has an order with him, I would just cancel when you can and wait for him to be in contact again before ordering from him.
-
Sorry OP, I kinda jumped on you with assumptions and all. just saw scammer next to one of the more legit sellers and saw red if you know what i mean. just getting sick of people stirring up shit all the time. THIS ISN'T АМАZON!
-
I still have not received my order from dolfan. I placed my order a week ago and like 2 or 3 days later I messaged him asking whats up and he sent this "hey bro im filling orders now give me a lil bit tho because some fucker on here got some of my info and is trying to blackmail me if i dont send him some money and he hacked my account on mt gox and shit." Thats a completely understandable excuse not to send out the orders but if you were not going to be able to send them out then why not just cancel and refund? He updated my order to in transit so now I cannot cancel and its been in transit for 5 days (including weekend). I just wanted to get this issue out and written down. Take caution when buying from Dolfan right now because he does not seem to have his shit together.
-
He did the same to me also. Marked it in transit Thursday. I agree that if he didn't plan on filling the orders just leave it and let us cancel or cancel it himself. I understand shit happens, especially in this game, but now I have to wait the 10 days to go to resolution if it doesn't show up. 10 days in this world is a long time, but still keeping my fingers crossed.
-
I can understand your concerns about your shipments.. All I can say is Dolfan is pretty legit, I believe he'll make it right for you guys.
On another note... Is anyone else concerned who/what/when/how someone got his personal information? Is this a bigger issue than just Dolfan? Did he trust someone too much? More importantly, could this happen to me or anyone else that uses SR?
-
I have good confidence that this will all be worked out soon. I hope that Dolfan wasn't compromised by some blackmailing scammer and I really hope that all personal information remained concealed. If you all have an update please post. I will update if I receive the order or if I hear more back from Dolfan.
-
Dolfan is a legit seller, but this delay has caused some problems for a few of us. I have an order as well that has been in transit since thursday and nothing. After my past few experiences and his great customer service, I hope everything gets cleared up soon. I am a bit bummed out because of all the BTC in escrow, but if no action on his part (ie no early finalization) I will just reorder from another. I hope DOLFAN gets this back up and running, because I surely miss him.
-
Please if you only remember the unofficial golden rule of SR... it ain't amazon.com then you will have no problems and your worries go away. Please remember 100% patience is needed for this place to thrive at this level still. I know it wants to be amazon, but shit happens and these vendors are drug dealers.. you know drug dealers right? They don't run your average everyday small company for a reason... no they are in this business to make more money and almost as important they make their own hours. It's just a fact, and you gotta realize that just because it's online and darkweb and all, doesn't make it more legit and it's not amazon.com ya see?
tl;dr Shit happens to vendors. Please realize hey are not reliable like your other online shopping and please remember patience because of this. It's not that I'm saying its a bad thing, it just is. The closest to an amazon was pharmville and see what happened in the end. (come back soon pville seriously miss you)
-
Dolfan has taken more than a weekend off, we are no almost two weeks since I ordered and nothing. He has not even been on SR for over a week, He had enough time to move my order in to "in transit" status, but never sent. I have been very understanding, but this experience has been one of the worst on SR. When a vendor ties up over 300 bones of your money and has no attempt to rectify the situation or even get on SR that is a problem. I am mostly upset because he moved my order to in transit which makes me have to wait longer to get back my money. If he was having problems he should have cancelled orders and not strung customers along. This experience was night and day compared to last time.
-
People have already said it, but I figure I'd add my 2 cents in... dolfan's a great seller. I've always got my order ridiculously fast, and he's never required me to finalize early.
I understand things seemed kind of sketchy to you, but making this kind of thread for a seller with a great reputation, who didn't require you to finalize early, and you cancelled and got your money back... that's kind of in poor taste. There's already a thread about H vendors and I think there's a thread about dolfan you could have posted in to see what other people are saying.
-
He might have been legit, but vendors change quick on here. I definitely think there is something going on in his RL that is causing this though. I just cancelled my order and ordered from someone else, and it is already here. He has not been on SR in 9 days think about it people.
-
Dolfan is a legit seller, but something must have happened to cause this abrupt service problem. I know a lot of us that purchase items seem to expect it to arrive 24 hours later which is completely impossible, but we are entitled to know what is going on with a particular order. Having a vendor going MIA on you after an obscure update and moving the order in transit without even supplying his usual to confirm has had me wishing that my order was just left in processing so I could have canceled an order that he may not of been able to fill. I know all the noobs are now now now and instant gratification, but the more tenured members need to not come down on them as hard as they do. I know this is a bit mushy, but if we all are knowledgeable and safe SR will be a better place for it. Like GI JOE says,"Cause knowing is half the battle!" I am hoping that Dolfan is gonna make a comeback soon though.
-
Still waiting on Resolution, so no I still have all my BTC in escrow. Not trying to throw him under the bus, because he is one of the best vendors on SR...this experience like I said night and day. I am going to stop beating a dead horse and hopefully he comes back and fixes it before ADMIN get involved. I am hoping to do business with Dolfan again someday soon if and when he decides to. SR ADMIN to the rescue in a few days if nothing from his end.

Check out the last post of this thread for info about where he is/what's happening

Wait, don't bother...here it is:
!!!PAY ATTENTION!!!
Dolfan2500 is not a scammer, He is the VICTIM of a tri-fold SHITSTORM. First his regular supplier split town and he couldn't find someone else so he ran out of stock. Then his MtGox account was hacked and drained. Then someone (maybe the hacker) got a hold of his personal info and is trying to blackmail him, I haven't heard from him since this last revelation so the way I see it there could be several possibilities as to whats going on; A: he might be laying-low, 2: he might be totally broke from paying off the dickhead who threatened to turn him into the police unless he got paid so he can't afford more stock, III: he might be in jail after having been turned in by the aforementioned DICKHEAD, cuatro: he might have become disillusioned with the glamorous life of E-dealing after what has happened and given it up...tortured by the memories of his illustrious journey from Moderate drug-user who happens to own a PC to Moderate drug-user who happens to own a PC and has some more money than before or finally, 五: He is a scammer. (I don't think it's true, but what do I know? I'm a woman after all.)
One of these possibilities must surely be true.But which one is it? Nobody can make this decision for you, it's the 90's , you have the right to chose.
One love

Ok yeah he is not a scammer.... but its still annoying that my funds are all tied up in escrow because he decided to mark the shipment to "in transit". It says clearly on there something like, " do not mark the order shipped until it is actually shipped." I am very sorry an excellent seller got his shit hacked, its truly a tragedy, but lets not waste all of our time. He marked it shipped on the 29th of March right before I was able to cancel. Silk Road admin is gonna take over this problem in 2 days but this order should have been canceled over 2 weeks ago.
-
Yeah less than a day for mine to be sent to ADMIN and DOLFAN still MIA. Based on his very brief update (the one and only sent when he marked it in transit), Dolfan was aware of an issue that would cause a customer service issue and should have given buyers the option to cancel or wait it out. Instead Dolfan pushed orders through to "in transit" status causing loyal customers to experience some extremely bad karma to say the least. I hope for all involved in this debacle that SR ADMIN resolves these issues expeditiously (especially since vendor has not even logged on for over two weeks) and we can all get replacement orders in time to enjoy the 420 Holiday (as that is what I procured this order for). Does anyone know how long resolutions typically take when a vendor goes MIA?
