Why established vendors simply don't move to their own store?

The are tens of vendors with great DNM history which can be verified via Grams. Most of them required FE anyway, so why they don't just setup theit oscommerce/magento/opencart and sell directly there? That would help decentralization, probably avoid the ddos issue and remove the market fees.

Actually i ordered from BlueViking, he has thousands of confirmed orders and is considered trustworthy as an example. I wouldn't have problems to buy directly from him and i think this is true for a lot of users. We may keep grams for collecting feebacks outside their shops and build a simple search engine which will collect items from trusted shops.

If anyone is interested, i may write a tutorial on how properly configure a server and manage it for the purpose.

I put this exact thought out a few days ago.. single stores with a related moderated ratings page. This has to be the way of the future, making each quality supplier a separate address, so it becomes like herding cats - impossible to ddos them all or track them for LE. I am not a coder, but I will support any effort to make this happen.

most vendors have nearly given up on escrow, alot of customers FE anyway to help the vendor eliminate their risk, most of the vendors you know well enough by now that you can trust anyway. any vendor willing to setup a private store is doing it for theirs and their customers benefit. the people buying from these private stores would of established trust up to this point-thats what we give the vendor the confidence to open a private store

Every vendor-specific market was obliterated by the takedown. So, because security.

The main problem is security. Hardening a web server is beyond the capabilities and expertise of most vendors. I don't expect my drug dealer to be a CSS and SQL expert - that's not his job and he won't be particularly good at it. And when his site turns out to be vulnerable to some attack, getting hacked and robbed is probably his best-case scenario.
