Bitcoin vendors should have to pay the amount into escrow before accepting the moneypak like other escrow currency sites or else you'll get scammed

I agree, something should be done with the BTC vendors, not sure what is happening now is in the best interest of the road, sorta out of the system but still part of it.

Not sure if a second kind of escrow would work or is even feasible but right now its a bit of the wild west where anything goes.

I got ripped off on a MP deal for a fair amount and am not willing to put myself at risk for a repeat... but, unfortunately, that screws the honest MP to BTC vendors as I am no longer willing to do the large MP that they want and like.

Not sure what the answer is but I do believe, at the very least, they should be held to the same standards that all the other vendors.

MP can be refunded easily. Take the original receipt and claim somebody stole it. Do not mention drugs or bitcoins.
Worst idea ever was to agree to allow traceable payments to bitcoins on this site. #1 way for LE to infiltrate and start busting people. Given that every single carding forum AND drugs forum has been busted in the past month I have no idea why they allow this blatant insecurity. I hope no vendor ever uses anybody from here to cashout coins or enjoy the bighouse

I doubt that will work, especially if he already took out the money. Stop using the shady exchangers, this is what you get.

Read all the fine print on their site how to do a chargeback and social engineer them to do it. Pretty sure just showing up with a receipt won't work, read all the TOS. The minute you say you tried to buy digital currency or something with it they will deny you.

I never use moneypak because it's a ripoff. Costs like 8-12% for somebody to cash it out, AND you pay money on top to buy them. Why the fuck does anybody use it. Bitinstant will take a cheap cash deposit anonymously and deliver you bitcoins to email via Coinapult. Why give money to some shady exchanger here that could be a cop or scammer

If the guy has legit listings on SR main site then contact SR about it through the support methods on the main site
