Vendors,how often do you get scammed by people using escrow?

Curious to see how often you get people that claim the package never arrived even though you sent the package?I know seizures could be a factor but you see what I am getting at

The Grand Wizard has had a few buyers pull scams. One genius claimed his package didn't arrive: when asked if he wanted a refund or reship he chose a refund because the pills rattled in the envelope too much. Then there are the buyers who want refunds when the package never shows up at the nearby abandoned house, etc. But these are such a miniscule percentage of our business that we generally take buyers at their word. Very few people are petty enough to scam someone over $25-50 -- and we can eat the cost of the occasional scammer as part of doing business and keeping the Lair's reputation clean.

Exvendor here, I had around 500+ orders from Agora, Evo, c9, Nuke, and BB I don't think I ever had anyone try to escrow scam me, as I had tracking for all my packages, besides when I was first starting off and using first class stamps to send samples, which some people claimed they didn't receive.

I knew they were lying, I only had 1 package that went "missing" during my tenure as a vendor.

Not even once. But I don't use untracked regular mail very often.

Darknet customers are very honest, they don't really scam vendors. Its just an excuse vendors use to justify forcing customers to pay up front.

The only valid reason to require FE is if the vendor doesn't trust the owners of the market, and wants to get the money out before they start playing silly buggers with withdrawals.

I accidentally scammed a vendor they sent a pack and i couldnt find it then they sent another half of the order ... they both came and i only paid 500

I have asked a vendor once why he required FE and didnt offer any reship or refund in case of no show. His answer was that if he offered that, almost 10 % of packages would suddenly go "missing" compared to 0.5% without.

Dont know if it was just an excuse.

I've had a legitimate package just not arrive. Domestic, no love letter etc. Pretty sure it must have actually got lost as vendor has a good rep and offered 50% refund, and ended up refunding me 50% but then reshipping the other 50% anyway as I'd said okay to refund but it's a shame as I wanted to try his product.

I wish tracked shipping was as easy/safe to use, because scammers ruin it for legit customers who's packages actually don't show up.

When I was selling I had a strict no refund no reship policy on Evo as I was level 5, just starting out on Agora I stated I would reship any missing order, missing orders of Evo 1 out of a couple thousand, on Agora 10 in my first 300-500

Good question, but I don't even think they can answer this.

One vendor had a hiccup on several shipments - I nagged about the delay and he kindly offered a reship. Literally the day after the reship arrived, the original pack was delivered
