Just lost money again on Agora. We need to make some changes to escrow.

This is the 4 or 5 time a site runs with my money. I know by now that it will happened sooner or later, but what f... pisses me off are you (15-20%) asshole buyers who just leave your order to auto finalize. You get your product after 2-3 days and never bother to return to finalize. Then ill have to wait 18 days for my money. And by the time a site has been up 2 - 4 months, my escrow ballance is holding a lot of btc. And when the site chooses to run with everything, I'm the one left with the loss.

We need to make escrow, on all the sites, auto finalize after 5 days. So that the buyers have to actively ask for more time if the product haven't arrived. This way the pending ballance will be kept to a minimum.

What are you selling?

Buyers on here complain about the lack of vendors on TMP all the time, while vendors complain about faulty single-entity escrow. The solution seems really obvious doesn't it? Let your customers know you're moving and move, someone needs to be the early adopter.

I don't know you and I don't want to give you any funny ideas in case you're a total cunt but if you're an honest to god vendor, direct sales are also a possibility. If you build up enough rep to be known across markets, people will be more eager to buy from you directly or at least to follow you wherever you want to go. It just takes a hell of a customer service but it's possible (and if you're selling weed/LSD/MDMA you might consider posting an ad on Majestic Garden for that).

What you don't want to do is to blindly join another third-party escrow site and hope that this time they won't fucking rob you.

How do you lose money? Is the worst case that for the lazy buyers you just wait for auto-finalize, or is your concern that with a longer auto-finalize period the amount in escrow is increased and thus you have more at stake?

Wait your saying agora pulled a sheep?

Also I think TMP has auto finalization after like 5-7 days for domestic orders.

Agora is up for me and working fine, what the fuck is everyone talking about?

No, you need to stop using Agora for now. Especially with all the rumours going around.

We can't exactly trip LSD the second a package comes in, sometimes a buyer needs a day or two in order to ensure a legit product.

Ideally everyone has at the very least, Marquis (and Ehrlich for LSD) for a general test and can verify, and therefore finalize, immediately though. It's a little surprising how many people don't have a $10 test kit that'd save them a huge amount of trouble.

I believe Evolution does what you say (Auto-finalizes, longer finalize dates for further shipping).

Whatever, people. I'll just be over here on TMP buying all the kick ass drugs I can get my hands on.

"Tooooooo haaaarrrrrrdddd, bllllaaaaaahhhhh!"

Yeah, it's downright impossible, isn't it? All that cutting and pasting, my god what were they thinking? NASA engineers couldn't figure this shit out.

More TMP for me.

I haven't used Agora for over a week now, I made several purchases and always finalized quickly when it was up, but due to the downtime and uncertainty I withdrew all of my money. I suggest anyone who wants to see their bitcoins do the same, at least for the time being until things calm down.

With all the scammers on dark markets you are lucky you get auto finalize at all. Some sellers dont ship for a week or two and many dont ship at all. What you are suggesting would be goos for scammer vendors and bad for everyone else. Its a good thing it will never happen bro. If you dont like it go somewhere else, no one is forcing you to be a vendor.

we second that

Yes you a completly right. That sucvks for the vendor who did all the work and the buyer dont give a shit. I remember on sr1 it was like 7 days the autofinalization so you had to ask for another extension every 7 days.

There should be a buyer feedback too so the vendors can put that the asshole buyer didnt finalized on time.
