First is probably something I'm overlooking but I like on AB how you can see the buyer notes you left (to see what drop you gave them,etc).
I have what I consider solid trading history on AB. On dream I'm just starting out. Not a big deal until you leave a vendor a bad review and they leave you one back.
Here's how you get fucked:
All those good trades where you bought and left other vendors good reviews? Most likely they didn't leave you any rating back. You want to know what a lone one star rating coupled with nothing else looks like on your profile? Like jack diddly shit, that's what it looks like.
I got questioned by C_S about it but thank god he still sent. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal - once in a blue moon vendors will ask and I'll just reply "bought shitty coke and gave the vendor a bad review" - except now I've had 2 vendors reject my order.
One I could give a fuck less about, but the second is JSL - who I was very eager to try. Don't get me wrong I'll just create an alt and use an intermediate drop out of state but my chances of having it for this weekend are going to be next to nill considering it'll need to get shipped again once it touches down at the first spot.
I don't know what the solution is. I understand a vendor needs to be able to warn other vendors but it should be balanced with your history of good trades.
What sucks is some vendors are only on Dream and some vendors have better offers on Dream than AB. One of my favorite domestics, Lifecare only has his special gram price on Dream - luckily I have trade history with him from before and he didn't reject me.
Maybe something where the buyer and seller must leave eachother feedback or it's not published. As it stands now I can either msg all the vendors I've bought from and beg them to reciprocate or create alts/seek out other markets to trade on.
