Hi
I ordered some products more then 2 weeks ago, which he made me FE, and still nothing arrived and I am not that far away.
I see his profile and feedback got in Stealth Mode http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/ff1fa3ee45
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php/Stealth_Mode
I´m not to happy about the handling of this vendor and definitely not the Stealth Mode thing.
Anybody got expirience or got products in the mailbox lately?

Still nothing arrived and probably never will.
I send hiddenlocustbro messages everyday since monday and no sign of life comes back.
I send a message to SR support but nothing came from that side too.
Besides changing my (FE) feedback to 1/5 there is not much I can do I guess if all goes quiet...??
Any advice

answer I got from SR support
Unfortunately, once the order is finalized the payment is released to the vendor and is no longer in escrow. As escrow is the system which enables us to aid in dispute resolution, you will have to attempt to secure refund directly from the vendor.

It was a small order but still sucks monkey balls and it's the principle.
My updated feedback
Hi FE for this little gem, if tried in time will update this feedback, cheers
UPDATE: never arrived and does not respond do multiple messages since 5days, got 5 other orders delivered I made on the same day.
He was quick to send a message to FE though.
He is now in stealh mode and his feedback score is dropping like mad so I guess he scammed a lot of people.
This shit pisses me off and is ruining SR.

Do NOT finalize early! Stop doing that. What's ruining SR is the countless amounts of people who are willing to just throw their money away and the countless scammers who see the amount of people that are willing to do just that. Stop it!

He would not ship it before I finalized but I guess this is a lesson and will cancel any orders I´ll make in the future that require FE from the vendor.
I did research on the seller but I guess he was on retirement and a scamming spree.

Hiddenlocustbro also took an order from me and it's been nearly a month and still nothing. Every order I've made since then and others past then have arrived and yet nothing from him. Not even a letter. Very annoyed. Luckily it was only for a few coins

Thanks for reminding me about this guy. I checked and I had ordered blues from him about a month and a half ago and never got them. I had forgotten about it as I FE'd for him to ship too as he had sent successfully before. This was before I really knew about FE and getting screwed. It appears his Vendor account is gone now too :o Lesson learned, and for only a few Btc :P Do NOT Finalize Early!!!

What are we expected to do when dealing with vendors who don't accept anything but FE from buyers will less then 5 or 10 transactions? just don't order? order then refuse?
-
Find another vendor ;) There is lots of them. It builds up quick buy some small stuff and get past the fe barrier. I can give you some recommends for good vendors in PM if you need, and check the forums under trusted vendor, and then check the vendors feedback for a few days and make sure he's not crashing/cashing out. Then order and have faith ;D Just my :2cents:
-
So the general consensus is that he's gone to ground then huh? Oh well. I'm not too fussed about FE for TRUSTED vendors. People like c63amg for example, seems like a guy I would FE for.

Tried some of his tabs back in the days when he was new and his rating was 100, unfortunately I was new to all this and placed an order since he was the only UK vendor selling tabs at the time, the tabs did nothing it was absolute placebo. They arrived and all but it was bs, I think it was that, that eventually led to his downfall. Oh well :-\
