is it possible to check if a vendor has fake feedback?
or is it just a rule of thumb to never buy from someone if it seems to good to be true?
for example this guy: http://agorabasakxmewww.onion/vendor/SafeShop#
insanely good prices, generic feedback. sketchy but idk
Look for reviews in places other than agora. Look at the reviews on agora. How are they worded? do they seem unique? Are there buyers with lots of orders under their belt, or are they all 1-2? Are there a bunch of "FE"? feedback? because if someone is idiotic enough to FE (because FE is for fools) they don't have to give feedback when they do so, they can wait till they get scammed. How does your gut feel? Are the offers far too good to be true?
Yeah, this seller looks sketchy. Doesn't mean he is, but I certainly wouldn't buy, at least not at the moment. Then again, I don't do trade with FE sellers because most of them scam- that he doesn't mention FE but a lot of his sales have it in feedback is a red flag too.
