Title: Purchasing as a newbie
Post by: BeerFull on August 22, 2013, 07:35 pm
Although I have not tried to purchase yet due to waiting for funds to register on my account. I am a bit worried about the vendors hesitation to do business with newbies. I have gathered this from reading in the forums. Is it really very difficult?

Ignore this lottery crap.  Your buyer stats will show how much money you've spend as well as the number of transactions.  The vast majority of vendors will do business with someone who hasn't done a single transaction.  Many will not ask you to finalize early.  I've never been asked to finalize early...unless something truly shitty happens leave 5/5 feedback as soon as you get your order...if you have negative stats that's when you'll really have a hard time getting sellers to accept your order.  I'd be more concerned about finding the vendor that YOU are comfortable with.  Look closely at the feedback regarding shipping time, stealth and product quality; as well as the seller overall stats on their page.

Excuse my shameless plug.

All vendors aren't created equally and the best advise really is to go with the vendor you feel most comfortable with.  When I was a newb with no purchasing history I had no problem making purchases, most vendors just stipulated certain terms, such as no refunds or reships for low stats. 

Good luck

just do your research on the vender, check here, their feedback, and reddit/ silkroad is another good place for reviews. read up on security, lots of great threads here to check out.
