It's run by member of the carding community. Evolution was also run by members of the carding community and they exit scammed. There is no proof that alphabay has scammed anyone but they're linked to the carding scene which is disliked by the sub.
Edit: They also hired a spamming/shilling fool as their PR person.

A lot of the hate is because the market is run by carders, which is usually looked down upon here in this sub.
I personally stay away from it because of the constant "where is my deposit?!" Or "why isn't my deposit showing up?" Along with the fact that people report that their wallet address changed after making a deposit. Just strange sketchy shit. There are lots of people that have used it for a good while without issue, but then I get on Reddit and see people reporting missing deposits and wallets changing after making a deposit.

Because it is the best market. And when I say best market I mean market with the most selections. I personally have never had issues using alphabay. Their old interface was gross but the new one isn't bad at all. It easily has the best search function of any market I've used. It's almost always up and deposits can take awhile but they have worked always. I think the issue with peoples btcs disappearing is phishing, Alphabay themselves have said they're experiencing a huge amount of phishing so make sure you're on the right site, lol. But yeah the whole carder thing doesn't lend them any trust so everyone thinks they're gonna exit scam. They probably will but not for awhile I'm sure, but I personally think every market is bound to exit scam.

Hate from us and a couple other vendors because their "scamwatch" team takes over vendor accounts and steals bitcoin after their main hunk of garbage u/Trappy_Pandora begs you for months to do escrow. They are the same trash as Evolution, pretend to have a staff of 100 people just to selectively scam.

There are a lot of posts about people getting scammed while using Alphabay. This does NOT mean that Alphabay is scamming.
But I do think that the markets should start requiring 2fa from now on. That way people won't be getting scammed and blaming them.
They may loose some of the business from the nooby/reckless buyers, but I think everyone would be better off.

I am a small vendor and have a few reasons I dislike the market..
They sort by most popular/most viewed items: I cant compete with larger vendors and my sales are down.
Sticky cost $: The sticky feature is a great feature if your a big vendor. To get mine stickied would put my profits into the negative.
as a weed vendor, I cant list different strains as my views start at 0
For a large vendor, alpha bay is great. Anyone who isnt scarface in size is hurting unless they got loyal customers.

i got fucked there thats fer sure.! deposit showed up fine, but then the vendor went MIA since the 13th. not all cause then escrow just realeased it,s self i guess. (theres no way to mesg. in ur orders. no way to contact support, cant change feedback.) i could go on.....i hate it there. vendors won,t ship any of the orders i placed yet.
WTF kind of sick cruel joke are the russians playing with us? fuck! i,m pissed! an almost outta drugs, everybodys on the sub gonna pay then (sorry )but i,m about to lose any control have left over 2,500$ in btc fuckin stuck there all week long. there building up escrow to exit scam, bet ya all. sandygofast is MIA, verdelimon dissapears too. this is some bigtime bullshit. so far i hate it there more than anywhere in the world. even jail is better. i mean shit atleast i could get drugs in jail.
alphabay RIP

I've used it for a while and had no issues. It's a lot of newer vendors though so you have to sort through some shit
[1 Points] aboutthednm:
Alphabay is run by a bunch of unprofessional twats. At least that's what I get from the way it looks. Not one ounce of professionalism.
[1 Points] TripAddict:
Well it's ran by carders, nothing against them or anything, but i don't really feel like sending an un-reversible cryptocurrency to a site owned by carders. See where i'm getting at?

Staff seem totally absent. They have a paid shill, /u/trappy_Pandora they made a well known troll staff, penissmith. Its run by Russian carders that speak perfect English.
The site is so badly coded that you often have to enter five captchas to login, and half the time the captcha runs off the side of the pic etc. Yet they have this magical ddos protection that makes the site always work. Aka, they're ddosing other markets

It's the personal savings account of carders. They steal what they can get away with on a regular basis and then allow their friends to scam on their site.
[1 Points] cryptocreepo:
Not so much hate, just a lot of posts from paid shill/trolls and people who get scammed because of their own carelessness.
Most buyers and vendors have had no problems regarding Alphabay.

Because people seem to have this crazy thought that Alphabay is reason the markets are getting attacked. I haven't seen any real proof.
Cause trappy is a shiller and fucking ticks everyone off.
