Vendors, how do reviews on the sub really affect your sales?

I recently posted a review of a vendor that I've been messaging, and in part of my review I stated that the shipping was a little slow and was at first concerned if the pack would show. After the resolution, the vendor messaged me later stating that he had multiple buyers asking for reships and complaining about not receiving packs even though he'd only had one previous complaint ever (me being his second) in months of vending.

So, vendors, do you see a new influx of orders after a review or customers complaining about certain things like shipping speed, stealth, etc.? If so, it seems like a review can lead to negative consequences for the vendors if buyers try to play on the negatives of a recent review, like asking for a reship because the pack hasn't shown even if it is simply the buyer trying to turn one over on the vendor.

Not a Vendor, but reviews on Reddit will effect them on some level.

I generally regard the reviews on this Sub-Reddit with some amount of trust (as a person who contributes reviews) and will make decisions on purchasing depending on the reviews in the sub.

Not a vendoor but I've definitely seen good reviews on here lead to vendors getting slammed with orders. I'm positive that all the good /r/dnm reviews are why Gumba went from an 11PM cutoff time for next day shipping, to 9PM, to 7PM, to having to go on vacation because he had so many orders.

After I got my first reddit review I did not notice any uptick in sales. There were a few buyers that mentioned the review though.

As a vendor I think reviews can both help and hurt, a lot of it has to do with how reputable a member is and if it becomes a very commented on review that can push it to the hot column on here or keep it at the top of forums. Honestly regarding how customers act I have had new customers single out a review and say that is why they gave me a shot and I do my best to hook up the people that do review me, good or bad because if its a negative review it helps me work on stuff for the future to make customers happy and hopefully fix anything I did that the customer didnt like if that is the case. And a lot of people like to comment on scamming vendors and while there are some, most of us vendors are business men and scamming will earn less money in the long run with the effort it takes to build reputations as sellers, but buyers love to try and scam. I keep all tracking numbers and relevant info (encrypted of course) until I am paid and then wipe it.

What % of people who purchase on the markets visit this sub, there's your answer, its negligible

I've never had a review done on this sub before but the affect feedback has had on my sales is definitely noticeable.

Even posting in the Deals of the Week sticky gives a solid boost in sales every week. Even if it doesn't directly lead to a sale, the view count boosts the search ranking which leads to more potential buyers.

Despite being a psycho nutter meth head conspiracy nut forever to have 'No Proof'

No cunt has ever publicly said BBMC (for example, see other UTR UK big stim sellers) had slow shipping or clients whining about noshows/reships..

And even if they did, he'd have more class than to complain to the aforementioned cunt about this negative impact on his illegal drug business..
