Just wanted to warn people about some serious issues going on with VAPOR_PEN [BSM]. A glance of his account would seem obvious now, 20% in dispute, many reviewers not getting anything (myself included). When I first ordered he didn't have those negative reviews. He marked my order as shipped and eight days later he has not responded to my messages and I have nothing. Thankfully I did not FE so I am disputing the sale and reported him for suspicious activity. He seriously seems to be scamming.... 0/5
Guccibuds [Pandora] on the other had is just a little disappointing. I bought successfully from him before twice and while his bud wasn't the best around the kief I was a fan of because not many people sell it. I ordered it a second time (third order overall) and it never showed after a week which is not like Gucci. He usually got stuff to me in the normal 3-4 day timeline. When I messaged him he claimed he forgot to send it. He asked how I wanted to go about it and I said send it again. I hear nothing back and three days later I inquire again. I'm literally at about 6 hours before Pandora auto-finalizes the escrow so something like 16 DAYS total? WTF? He asks in an unencrypted message:
"Is your zip 123XX?"
I was like WTF? All of the messages I've sent have been PGP encrypted, the second of which included my address a second time (three days prior to this). So either bad record keeping but more notably bad op-sec?? I'd just stay away. I had to dispute the sale because we literally went the whole 16 days and he never shipped as far as I could tell even though he claimed he did? 1/5.....
So two sales in dispute but I hope this tale of warning just reinforces the oft stated mantra. DON'T FE!! Peace and happy buying.
EDIT: VAPOR_PEN is now up to 23% disputed sales in the last week. So pretty much nothing is getting shipped.
EDIT2: Both sellers have logged in and appear to be attempting to hold escrow hostage. Both are ignoring personal messages. I escalated the issue with BlueSky. Pandora's complaint process looks laughably stupid. I'll probably have $90 tied up on Pandora forever. More to come...
Yeah, Guccibuds pulled the exact same stuff with me on SR2 over a whole $2.10...
