I have been burnt a few times now and scared to try another market. I have been looking at Dream Market place but every offer looks like a scam or just BS. I have had no luck with any legit pressed oxy 30m vendors and I have already given up on pharm grade.
i have made of many purchase on dream now.
like u i am skeptical cos so many user scream FUD and scam. for record, i do think certain cases are very suspect, such as a recent reputable vendor that had btc missing from his wallet as "a bug" and how dream staff handle it. u can check my post history to find thread. however i have kept large amt on market wallet and never stolen. make sure u user proper link. one good way is to use ddw (make sure u dont go to fake ddw) and get to one official link. verify the safehaven message for that link. then, book mark all of the mirror provide ont hat link include that link itself. sometime all bookmark down and ddw has entirely new link, i safehaven verify that and then can use. using this method i have not been phish.
i decide to bridge gap and make first purchase by testing small amt first. made small purchase, ensure i do much research on reputable vendor. if u rely concern, never FE (although some fantastic vendor i would def FE for).
there are vast listing on dream so the statement that every offer look like scam/bs can be true. however there are also long time player and new player looking to make a name that are running legit business. no sourcing allowed here, but if you looking for specific thing, start seeing who are the big names in that category and go from there.
i almost made purchase from new vendor that had lising that am too good to be true and only handful of 4-5* review that can be faked. in the end he end up scammer/selective scammer.
1 tiem i take chance and did business with a relative new guy that seem like what i previously call "new player looking to make a name" and heend up as a fantastic business person. when i firs torder he had some like 15 5* review, by timei receive pack he had 150+ 5* review. extreme friendly and he his business explode now.
tldr do research, start small, if its 2 gud 2 be true most likely it is, and every action is a risk of total loss, even buying from 5* vendor with 10 year reputation and 10000000 review.
