Title pretty much is the tldr.
I went to go order 15x cherry suckers from TheEmeraldTriangle, and I've ordered from them quite a few times before on Agora and some other market, but under a different username and old address. Anyways, this order was only about $100 so the money isn't a huge loss but I'm moreso disappointed after previous successful buys.
Here's the chain of events: Place order, which was either a Thursday or Friday night. It was marked shipped by the next day or two, but since it fell on the weekend I figured it would take a couple more days. Usually his packs had only taken 3-4 business days to land, but I waited a week before messaging him, asking him to check on the package. He said "everything is in transit", so I held tight.
Waited almost another week and messaged him again, on the day that it would finalize. About 7 hours before actually. My plan was to wait for his response and see what he says and possibly dispute. I went to go check it a few more hours later, which of course fell on the infamous alphabay whitepage. Well, I missed the time to dispute it which was partially at my fault for not doing it sooner, EmeraldTriangle has since not even responded to my message (and I had sent another as soon as Alphabay was back up), so I consider it scammed.
Oh well I guess. If there's anything I'm missing or any proof I could provide lemme know and I'll do my best.
contact AB asap and say your order autofinalised during the downtime before you could dispute it
