I hate to be that "exit scam coming the sky is falling guy" but AB is sketching me out

I hadn't been using this market for a while but recently started again after Dream had their "odd" week.

So I try to make an order with a vendor I've dealt with across markets. I FE to save shipping costs and tried to do so on AB. Except now that option appears nowhere and the vendor themselves has posted about escrow not clearing on the site.

Today I tried to log in and I'm getting to the login page and every single attempt ends up with a page saying "you're flooding, please wait 10 seconds, this is strike #x" No matter how long I wait between attempts, the strike count keeps increasing.

I've tried the mirrors with the same results. Now I can't even access the site to see if I can even release escrow or not.

It should have auto canceled by now but apparently hasn't according to the vendor.

EDIT FOR THE DUMB AND TOO LAZY TO READ: I wasn't saying it was an exit scam. I was mocking all the posts we see "X market is exiting scamming now!!!!omgz!!!" while stating I was experiencing behavior that was sketching me out.

Edit:And now the mods predictably flare this as fud even though I stated I wasn't saying AB was exiting. You want evidence where vendors are going on vacation because they can't get their escrow to clear? Would it even matter to the mods here since there's been bias for a while now? Astrid was a fucking berk but at least he wasn't doing the work of public relations for markets.

Edit yet Again : Thank you to the mod that actually re flared this correctly

If something doesnt work properly it means that something doesn;t work properly but not an exit scam

Hope you work it out as fast as possible bro

You cannot finalize the order until the vendor accepts it. As for flood issue restarting your tor browser is what has worked for me when I have had that issue.

No problem.... We hate you for being the 'exit scam guy', too.... 😀

How often did DreamMarket and Alphabay exitscam in the last months? How often were we told BitCoin is dead? More often than I like to admit....

When this happens, try deleting your cache and cookies, restart Tor browser, and it should work.

Didn't even read it.

Anyway, people have said they are gonna exit "anytime now" since before evo. I'm pretty sure they are just hiring people to say that just so when it does happen no one will believe it. I mean for real dough.
