Title: Is it worth making five 0.1 purchases to use escrow?
Post by: yidarmyNorth17 on August 02, 2012, 05:31 pm
Hi All,

gonna be making my first purchase next week, and been reading the anonymous sticky guide.

From what i can gather, first time buyers have a difficult decision to make with regards to FE, as it seems all vendors ask for it from newbies.

My question really is, if i buy say five 0.1 ebooks or something, will all vendors let me use escrow, or do those five purchases have to show a certain amount spent/use of similar vendors?

Thanx

All vendors don't ask for FE, even with new members :)
Vendors can see your purchasing stats when you place an order so buying low value ebooks doesn't work, better to shop around till you find a vendor that will give you a chance.

The vendors will see it and probably refuse to sell to you as it seems you`re trying to trick the system.

Cool, cheers 4 the advice people...now i just gotta find a U.K weed vendor that's cool with it. I'm gonna email some of the good ones i found like Black Tuna Gang and UKGT etc, and see if i can use escrow for a first time buy.

There are plenty of vendors who will trust a first time buyer, and those who won't will see your buyer stats and realize you made "fake" purchases to up your purchasing stats and they'll probably still deny you. I'd suggest making some smaller purchases with vendors who accept first time buyers. I know a shroom vendor who does this, several H vendors, and plenty of cannabis vendors do it as well because there are so many of them they can't all ask new buyers to finalize early; not requiring it will encourage buyers to choose them over other vendors.

If you do this vendors will notice it and not like it. If I notice it I will refuse to serve you.
