Is that you 'sgold? Sorry if that means nothing to you, lol.

Welcome to SR. Enjoy your stay, and do your research on vendors.

You're probably going to have some vendors asking you to finalize early for being new, but there are a couple of ways to avoid this:

1. Buy around five things on SR, like eBooks, to build up your transaction count.
2. Show that you know what you're doing to the vendor.

Take a look at bitinstant.com and look at your options. I use cash deposit => bitcoin to email, go to CVS, and pay with the MoneyGram slip provided during the whole process at BitInstant. There are other stores that use MoneyGram too, like 7-11 Walmart.

As for the karma, ignore it. It means absolutely nothing. People +1 or -1 according to their opinion, and as you already know, you can't please everyone.

+1 to you. Some people are assholes. Welcome!

...Speaking of E-books. I just finished compiling a new one myself. Pretty damn cool if I do say so. I wasted all day reading the crap in here (honestly)

If you do decide you want an e-book, you should check this one out. Not just because its me selling it either. :)

Some people just seem to -1 anyone who is new, or asks a newbie question! ???
That's a nice way to welcome people to the Road!

Maybe they gave you -1 because they don't like topix.  Dont take it personally.  Anyway, SR is much better than topix any day of the year. Welcome

Were you actually successful in buying anything off Topix?

Real question.

I have not looked there in  a long time, but I use to see ad for all kinds of stuff..... everyone seemed to be scamming everyone else.

Thanks for the welcome

,I have made only one purchase on topix ,it arrived but its not worth the bother I dont think .The place seems a shit hole full of people trying to rip each other off ! I can`t be doing with that .I want to be able to trust who I am buying from  and it seems topix is not the place to be trusting.I have been looking about a bit on SR and some of the products look amazing quality if the vendor is truthful in what there advertising .

Allow the vendors feedback to be your guide. Just because a vendor doesn't have a (100) net to their name doesnt mean they are not a good vendor, and vice versa. Don't blindly buy anything off a guy just cause he got a (100).

Look at the product, and actually READ the feedback..make sure its not all just:

 "FE for the most awesome vendor who I never bought from and will probably rip me off..but I don't know it yet!"

All else fails - search the forum for the product and vendor...still can not really find anything reliable, then make a post on the forum asking other buyers who may have bought from that vendor.

...You'll be fine. Keep your eyes open, but its not as bad as topix (looks) anyway. :)

forum is the best place to find whether a vendor is legit or not

sometimes they can have fake feedback stats on their Vendor page.

 Oh and dw about karma, any karma is good negative or positive. It means your opinion is being heard
