Could my vendor bond be repaid now? I think 6 weeks is within 72hrs and I'd like to have access to the money while bitcoin is on the rise. I hope I have proven my trustworthiness as a seller.

Vendor bonds will be repaid once escrow is paid in full. Thank you.

So you're not giving me my bond back because you're still paying back the people who had their coins stolen of which I am also a victim?
The last time I paid a bond for SR1 I paid $250. Then when my time was due I asked support just like this and you know what they told me? The fee had increased in that time to $500 and only the $500 bonds were to be repaid now.
It sounds to me like someone thought it might be a good idea to put the accumulated vendor bonds towards paying off the money already previously stolen so that they can meet their deadline.
I don't appreciate being screwed out of my bond TWICE when I am an honest vendor spend half my day pacifying people eager to get drugs.
When is the projected date that the outstanding escrow will be repaid? The date given just gets extended further and further back and people are taking notice and I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I have been paid for nearly 10k in orders in this 6 weeks. I have pretty much earned my vendor bond back through listing fees.

Sorry there is nothing else we can do.

"SR2 scamming people? I'm shocked!" ...
... said no one, ever.
I'm going to be ripped for this as the resident Agora propagandist-in-chief™, but consider vending on Agora. The vendor bond is fixed at 0.6 BTC... when BTC was $290 recently, the vendor bond went as low as $175! Even now, it's only $240, a bargain compared to Scam Road II. And escrow actually exists here. And the vendor bond is refundable on Agora; you don't even need to open a ticket with support -- if you have a vendor account, there's an option in the control panel to refund your bond if you ever decide to stop vending.
For those people that gave up on Agora months ago because of slow speed and downtime, they have really turned it around recently. The site has been running like a breeze for the last 6 to 8 weeks. Other users can back me up here.
