It should be the responsibility of a Market to verify Vendors and scammers and not depend solely on other third party services.
Howdy,
BlackBank is introducing a new feature for vendors to verify their accounts with other established markets. This feature allows vendors to easily submit applications for review. Verified vendors will give more confidence to other members of the community and build interest in the vendor's listings.
Features:
- search for vendors by verified PGP
- search for vendors by market association
- search for vendors that are verified (meeting the minimum req of 20+ positive feedback on a 3+ month old account)
- view all the markets a vendor is associated with
- check when the market association was last reviewed
For more information on how to apply for vendor verification:
This feature also enables buyers to search for specific vendors. Feel free to explore the new changes in the following locations:
- http://omo6o7akcampiryq.onion/market/search-vendor
- http://omo6o7akcampiryq.onion/vendor/go_fur?profile=portfolio
In order to ensure accuracy, the verification process involves:
- a Vendor verifying their PGP public key by answering a challenge question encrypted with the key
- the vendor fills out the application for verifying for established markets with the username on the other markets
- BlackBank looks up the accounts and matches the PGP public keys to the other accounts
- An account is "confirmed" if it exists, and entitled "verified" if it meets the minimum 20+ positive feedback on an account existing 3+ months (subject to judgement)
I'd like to welcome some of our first confirmed/verified vendors:
- SubsRGood
- REALRX
- Instagrams
- Bungee54
- SThompson
- GoFur
Interested vendors, please read the changes to the "Terms & Agreements":
Escrow is now mandatory for any account that has not reached the minimum of 20+ positive feedback and less than 3 months old, or unverified to have an account with the requirements on an established market.
Our growth has been slow, but our community has finally reached 2000+ members.
If there any questions or feedback, always feel free to contact me at any time or share here.
Cheers,
MDParity
