Is The Marketplace requiring vendor registration deposits? Registration process didn't make it very clear.

I just submitted the request to become a vendor on The Marketplace and at the end it said an admin would get back to me in ~12 hours or so. I saw something earlier mentioning a vendor deposit but can't find too much more info about it. Can someone let me know if TMP requires a deposit for vendors or not?
As a vendor it has been difficult to lose serious BTC from Sheep Marketplace and then TorMarket more recently. Asking vendors for registration deposits definitely makes it difficult for some of us. For now I guess I will be taking my wares to Blue Sky although the i2p configuration of TMP makes it sound like a possible improvement over some of the other Darknet Markets.
Edit: also, how long has it taken for some of you other vendors to get verified?

There shouldn't be a bond/fee until the start of next year. We are a vendor there, and we would recommend the site. Schultz is an amazing admin, and he or somebody should either contact you or approve your account soon. It didn't take us long at all.

Seems like u made it in time before there is a vendor bond. But wait for answer i guess...
