[Market Complaint] Alphabay Scammers, Useless Mods

What's up everyone? I ordered an 8th from vendor sanmo27 two weeks ago. He didn't send anything so I disputed 6 days ago and go figure... No reply from him or any of the mods I messaged/added to dispute convo. Many others on reddit and the forum echo me, yet him and countless other vendors continue to scam with no repercussion. Reading through the scam reports it looks like NO ONE is getting their dispute resolved. The Alphabay staff are as useful as Michael J Fox during a game of Operation. We need to do something about this dumpster fire of a market or many more will lose their coin. If you're still reading this and are planning to place an order on Abay, don't bother.

EDIT: Looks like causing a stink on reddit motivated the AB mods. Dispute is now resolved, who woulda thunk it.

If you want proof, go read through the 10+ scam reports on the forum from today alone...

AlphaBay is slipping lately, really bad. Is it time to be nervous? I don't smell Market Exit Scam but I am starting to think that maybe certain vendors may be paying/working with AlphaBay to scam buyers... It's not impossible. We are talking about A lot of money here.

Lol @ the analogy used above...Michael J Fox...lol..

I just resolved a dispute yesterday with "mountainhigh" as the mod. But its 10 days and I still havent received my order from Irave he says 2-4 days. He will not give me the tracking # even though it says he will give it if theres a 10 day problem. Ive checked my mail religiously and out of 8 orders hes been the only serious problem. the least he could do is * keep his own rule of giving me my tracking number since ive waited 10 damn days. this is stressful. ED going out to the mailbox hoping for the damn package and it never coming but the vendor ignoring me and he could fixx this all by giving me my tracking number.

In my experience they do sometimes work disputes out, it just takes at least one month..which is abysmal.

Alphabay allow vendors to do this, as they still get their btc regardless. The more sales going through their site the more profits they make. They dont really care about customers getting scammed, they only care about "Their" profits.

Everyone also needs to realise, that they are buying illegal stuff off anonymous people on the internet, you're taking massive risks, and the likelihood is that you can and will get scammed.

The DNM is no longer a movement, it's a money making exercise.

Man I had the same thing happen--- Sanmo27.... 10 shipping days and guy went M.I.A. so I did a dispute because I knew it would finalize and I would get screwed (BigMuscles was the mod).

Sanmo27 never responded to the dispute, went to the 4th day where I finally did the "Bump - Refund" like it said and I came back and checked my account later to see that I had BTC added, but ~50% of the amount that was being held in Escrow ($37 was in escrow with this Sanmo27 order, my first order EVER), so I thought BigMuscles messed up or something??? But then I checked the Archived order and it says "cancelled by seller and refunded." But I was only refunded ~$18 of that original $37.00 and I never received ANYTHING!! I began a new message including BigMuscles and Vaas in it (as I saw around the forums and here that's what you do), so I sure hope it gets straightened out.

I would advise NOBODY order from this Sanmo27 dude. I have NO IDEA what the deal is, but he goes M.I.A. all this time, then what? Sees my "Bump-Refund" in the dispute thread and decides to cancel the order himself? What is going on!! As if checking your mail like a maniac 10 days in a row isn't enough because you're not receiving messages, then I dispute, then I get scammed for half my $?

I would advise if you've been waiting for any length of time to dispute, there is something with this seller... but there's this whole other thing now where I only got 50% of my $ back. I know a lot of you do big money deals and this may not seem like a lot or you might say that's the inherent risk or whatever, but that's BS, that's WHY the money is held in Escrow, to secure both parties. And I made a small purchase to test the waters. I'm glad I didn't just dive right in. Jeez.
