Title: How Long Before a Vendor is Trustworthy?
Post by: saidanddone on May 31, 2013, 02:16 am
I am wondering whether some of the more experienced folks around here would be willing to weigh in on this: how long does a vendor have to be in business before you would consider them trustworthy and try an order with them? How much decent feedback do you like to see? Is a month adequate? Do you look into the account histories of those giving the feedback and reviews to see if they might be sham accounts? Do you like to see a reveiw thread in the forums dedicated to that vendor? Do you simply rely on instinct, or do you have a system that you follow when making a decision about whether to try and do business with a vendor?

I guess paranoia at the core of my concern. I don't want to place an order with a vendor who turns out to be an LE honeytrap. Am I just being especially paranoid?

A vendor is trustworthy once your peers have reviewed him/her.
