Been a vendor for over a week and not even a msg/question? Ive tried quantity changes, price changes, adding more notes...nothing? Suggestions?
-
Maybe it depends on what you're selling or you're not getting yourself known.. You should have a forum presence and things would be better then
-
you dont have your vendor page in your forum profile.
Adding that and getting into the 50+ msg count and then making a review thread of your vendor would help.

There are a few things that you could improve to have buyers... First of all, Canada isn't a huge market and I'd recommend doing Canada and US. You also don't specify how you ship it, which is really important for weed. You should say if you vacuum seal it, or use MBB (MBB recommended) for example. You should also show pictures of your actual product and not just plant products, have amounts in listings name like "7 grams of medical grade xxx", and have longer descriptions, like what the high, taste, etc. is like.
And finally, your listings are all for big amounts and not everybody is ready to pay $200 on a completely new vendor. Try to make listings for a couple grams for people to know what your stuff is like, and do some advertising on the forums!

I'd venture to guess most people are skeptical of buying from someone with little to no feedback simply for the sake of safety. Anyone can end up with a vendor account, be it LE or just a scammer. I know I always sort by "best selling" so I can look at feedback and see how long they've been selling and how many transactions they've had. It's all about promoting yourself, which is why a lot of vendors do samples. Luckily for the SR community, there are individuals that risk their own safety for the benefit of the SR community.

Get up to 50 posts.
Get a thread put up in the Rumour mill
Offer some very cheap/free samples
Offer 1 gram, 2 gram 5 gram amounts
Someone will bite eventually if you give them a chance to try your stuff without much risk.

You would be very surprised by the amount of users that place orders with brand new vendors with no feedback...

Really? That's surprising. But hey, I'm thankful for those people that do. We wouldn't have reports without them.

Another fun fact: Maybe 20 to 25 percent of the users here utilize PGP when transmitting their shipping address.

Yeah same here. It's very scary that the number is that low.

From what I've seen, yes roughly 25%. I don't keep a tally or anything lol. I've seen other vendors estimate about 30% in another thread.

wow..that's a nutty set of numbers :o
i couldnt imagine ordering without using PGP
i came to the forums and looked around...seen the newbie pgp club :)
and said to myself..
self?
yes other self?
well self, maybe it would be a good idea to make sure i am safe, secure and doing things properly before i order anything.
other self i do believe you're right :)
LOL
just kidding...i'm sitting here poopin typin my ass off LOL
(Hugs) @ you Jack :)
On a serious note though... would the ones getting busted be the ones that havent utilized what is so readily at their disposal? i think i'm babbling..well i am about to wipe so i'll talk to ya later
