Title: One thing that gets me...
Post by: Moon Fried on August 25, 2012, 09:02 pm
When people leave reviews and can't stop themselves from saying things like "buy with 100% confidence" or "the best/most trustworthy vendor on SR". Especially when it's orders of a small amount. It can be misleading at times. A vendor could just be fulfilling small orders, waiting to scam and act like it was not their fault on a bulk order.

Hate to sound this paranoid, but it's just not a good idea to advertise that a vendor is the greatest just because you got what you ordered. Don't want newbs to trust the vendor from the feedback alone and go ahead and FE and never get a reply or product in the mail.

I wouldn't, but many new users are easier to pressure into it. They'll think it's the norm... and it is the norm, actually. More new users FE than don't, and many probably don't go on these forums.

guilty of this myself. but now that I'm starting to be less of an SR noob I've been toning it down.
