Title: Explain an auction process for a noob?
Post by: neveraworry85 on April 06, 2013, 11:19 pm
I've seen some things talking about "FE", i think it was FE, whats that?

Is there a way to get bitcoins anonymously?

What type of fund protection does the buyer have from being scammed? I just started looking around on here today, apologies if I missed something obvious.

1. finalise early, releasing funds before product is sent
2. do your research or at least say which country you are from
3. escrow - not finalising early

do more research

go on /r/silkroad on reddit and read the guide. Unless someone has a tor link to it?

Thanks for the responses, Ron swanson I love your mustache.

I did google silk road info, but I wont lie...I pussied out from clicking the links thinking I'd get a virus =|.

Anyhow, going to go read that link now.

You mentioned escrow, does that hold the product until it arrives or only until it ships?

Again, thanks for the responses and direction, much appreciated.

Edit** I'm from the US, by the way.

Escrow holds the funds until it arrives and you finalise.

These aren't auctions but rather online sales.. Buyers aren't competing back and forth in a bidding war, right? Or is that possible too?

There are no auctions of the type you get at eBay - just the 'buy it now' type transaction.

It would be an interesting experiment though, if there was a unique product multiple buyers were interested in. I wonder if SR will do 'auctions' one day?

The rumor mill is a good place for reviews of vendors to avoid getting ripped off. Some drugs have better (more thorough or organized) review threads than others. If you research for a good while before you order you can be confident you're not getting ripped off.

but even if vendors are highly trusted, they can still do a runner with your bitcoin if you FE, as we have seen. still, it's less likely, and it means they are destroying their brand/name to do so.
