I made this post to ask for opinions from community members about choosing a vendor with no feedback.
So, there is this brand new vendor on Dream, FranzFerdinand. He has listed some fire pressies, Dutch GoldBars 200mg (is it strange that he has these? They were my first purchase on Agora a year ago.) All listings have escrow but nothing under 50pc. The account was made in January and has no sales on Dream. But on Dream you can see that he has an AB store with sales there (9).
I check out the AB store, and sure enough 9 perfect 5/5 transactions, but he is banned (maybe someone could elaborate as to why something like this would happen?) Again, a fairly new account. But why banned?
Back at Dream, I message said vendor about it. His response is exactly this, "We don't vend there. We deal mostly on Revolver." So off to make a Revolver account I go. (We should all research a vendor before we take the plunge.)
On Revolver I see he has an account, made around the same time as the ones on Dream and AB. This one has a couple of sales, all 5/5.
So I ask you fellow Marketeers, what would you do? Maybe a fellow brother in arms could take a stroll over to Dream and let me know what you think? Those beans would bring me so much nostalgia, but is it too good to be true?
All vendors had to start somewhere, am I right? All of the listing are escrow. But why is he banned? All replys will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you my peeps.
I would not do under the basis of him being banned on one market and then not exactly elaborating why that is.
But more than that, the actual reason he was banned was probably because he is a selective scammer and scammed on AB and when he was banned there moved to revolver (and now Dream as well) where he still actively scams.
Here are all of the threads that are on reddit about FranzFerdinand:
The general consensus, and my opinion: please do not order from him.
You'll find your nostalgia beans one day again in the future, I know you will!
