Title: Vendors
Post by: PuffDaddy12 on February 06, 2013, 08:12 pm
There starting to be vendors really pissing me off.  Forget to send stuff, asking for FE and not putting in transit for like fuckin 3 or 4 days after you order can somebody fix this you think.

You are really the only one that can fix this.  You should make sure to research any potential vendors on the SR forums before purchasing.  There are many great vendors who hangout on the forums and respond back to their customers to make sure they are completely satisfied with their product and also are actively reviewed without moderator access.  Look for vendors that do this and you will likely solve the problems you just brought up.  Unfortunately in such an anonymous environment it is going to be difficult to hold people accountable so we always have to be cautious not to get scammed when trying new vendors.

Hi,

according to vendors, I have a question. Can they see what I have bought in past? What they can see?

Spend money? Number of transactions or something else?

thanks for answer

I am not a vendor so I cannot say for sure but I believe I was told that vendors are able to see a rating system much as we have for them and how much money we have spent on SR.  I don't believe they can see detailed information about your purchases since that would be also allowing LE to simply make a vendor account and be able to simply snoop on your potentially illegal activities with a transaction report.  That just wouldn't make sense seeing as everything else is so anonymous.

I can understand needing to FE on larger orders since waiting for someone to auto-finalize on  a few thousand dollars worth of goods would be infuriating.  Vendors need access to capital  just like any other business but it is the responsibility of the customer to do their research before they purchase.  If a vendor has (100) and hundreds of sales with comments saying "5/5 FE to help vendor because they are amazing",  you are probably safe but should still maybe buy a smaller quantity first that doesn't require FE so that you feel comfortable.  If they don't have reviews by their customers claiming the vendor to be god, move on and and spend your money with one of the hundred other options that don't require FE.

Choose your vendors wisely and you will be well rewarded. I am still waiting on my first couple of purchases to ship but having had contact with the vendors I am confident they will come through. Good luck!

I am new to this SR but new to the market.  I am only trying this out to find more buyers of bulk BC Bud.  I do not and will not use bitcoins.  Does this SR actually put bigger players together?   I'm not about personal use sales.

Then you have found the wrong place all together.  SR does allow for "bigger players" to get together and conduct business but that would require you to have a vendor account and use BitCoin's since that is the currency used to protect the anonymity of the users.  SR doesn't just setup weed deals for you, you have to build up clientele that trusts you and your product, likely from smaller "personal use sales" or by slashing prices early on to get people to try your product rather than the other 1,000 + options already available.
