Couple of vending questions

I want to be a vendor on Agora since I have the same supply that the Vancouver Dipensaries have. There are about 30 top notch growers in my address book so I have access to premium bud at all times. Is it going to be worthwhile? I can also do a clearnet dispensary which might be better than DNM. Everyone wants Escrow on DNM but the fluctuation in btc could be a problem. How much are Agora fees for Escrow? Any other fees? I know about the bond. Going to sell samples of killer bud for cheap in order to get started. I can't see how I can do Escrow with btc all over the place. Only doing domestic Canada at first and probably will sell only Ozs, 1/2 ozs, or less for the first while as I build trust with my customers. Not new to DNM but always a buyer not a vendor. In the pot biz for many years. Smuggler, grower, dealer so I totally understand OPSEC. Thanks for any help!

I don't know enough about supply chain pricing of weed and the profit margins, but with escrow you need to price in the risk. Plenty of vendors use escrow and the fluctuations are just a part of vending risk. If you cant price in the risk and be competitive then it's not a worthwhile endeavor.

agora charges 4%. sign uo your vendor account with your own referal link.

bitcoin fluctuates up and down. you have to offer every listing with escrow. by all means alightly discount FE only listings. but I would suggest always offering escrow. it just makes it easier to gain new customers. and it helps you.

you will probably find that a tiny minority of customers are just pure scammer fodder. they are so used to getting scammed they orser fron you a 1pm and by 3pm they xall you a scammer. (they voluntarily FEd). its like they expect to yet scammed every time, bit just cant help themselves and order anyway. lol

plus every vendor who has solely FE only listings ("because of bitcoin prices") ls one more person making it easier for the scammers to operate.

no decent vendorshould be FE only. if its solely about the bitcoin price then do some maths abd offer escrow at a premium ....

You pay agora 4% comission whether you use the escrow or not. Escrow is the only way two anonymous parties can trade with confidence and the only thing which allows new vendors to get started.

its the best thing since sliced bread. Most of your business will depend on it. How long do you plan to make them wait before they get their weed and release the escrow? Weeks and weeks?

Bitcoin goes up as well as down. Customers would prefer to use cash but we vendors insist on bitcoin for our anonimity. So we cant really complain too much about escrow.

You may not realize this, but by asking about interest on reddit, using exchange rate fluctuation to justify FE, and starting with small samples you just did a perfect impersonation of a scammer.

or of somebody who needs to get paid before going and buying the weed from a dispenciary first, then posting it.

Youre some broke-ass punk who wants to get other people to pay for his weed, right? Thats fine if you are honest about it.

How long are you planning to make
