Why don't more people use Zion Market?

I'll be the first to say, I still primarily use Dream for all my orders. But there seems to be the impression that Dream can collapse at any moment.. I went on Zion to check it out and found it had some good features...Multi-sig, accepts Monero, etc.. but there are barely any listings? I've placed one order that came through smoothly. Its not a flagged market by this sub-reddit. Is there any reason I'm not aware of that Zion should not be used? Thanks.

Anyone who doesn't have that impression about every single market out there (because it's fact) is out of touch with reality. Any and all can disappear at any moment. Dream has proven itself stable, long-lived, and legit time and time again. But, even so, my first point still applies.

I've had very fluid experiences on Zion so far. The interface is pretty noob friendly. There are a lot of scammers (as there will be with any market) but that's where I rely on reviews and vendor inquiries on reddit to guide me. Just do your research on the vendor and always use escrow!

Zion lists benzos as dissociatives, and still proceeds to offer "harm reduction" advice. nuff said.

Zion allows new vendors (or vendors with less than 5 sales) to not use escrow for their listings. That's how I got scammed (the first time) but I also didn't bother to check if the order was escrow or not. Wasn't enough that I'd care tho. Zion did end up banning him.

That reminds me i gotta get on Zion and start a dispute (3rd vendor out of 7 or 8 to not drop my pack) Last time I opened a dispute "Support hasn't seen case yet" Was still showing several days after I impulsively clicked a counter-refund. It was still saying unresolved case for the 4 days I didn't leave feedback. If I had better options or could remember my Dream Account info I wouldn't use zion.

You only need 1 or 2 legit go to vendors for your goods and I have about 20 on Dream for various items and never have to worry about getting scammed

Vendor bond is only 10% of Dreams so expect a lot of scammers

It seemed more laggy, honestly.

I'd use a market that takes Monero over one that doesn't every time.

Servers are absolute trash. Some days you cant even load the homepage. Other then that its a good market. But I dont think people want to deal with the hassle of the servers. Especialy vendors.

People use cream because there is so many .ore vendors. I checked Zion the other day for the first time ever for my drug of choice. 2 and a half pages of my drug of choice. Dream we talking almost 20 pages of listings.

I've had really good experience w/ zion and vendors on zion so far. Fast xmr deposits. Selection can be kind of limited, but as long as you're not looking for something too esoteric it seems like there are a core group of reputable vendors for go-tos.
