I do agree with everything you guys have said. One big way to help this would be SR throwing a short write-up on the main page with the other notes on the right. Something like "Using Escrow - Important".There you could cover that if you are planning on doing business with a new seller, do NOT go outside of escrow. I mean, fuck, it's pretty common sense to some of us, but it seems like a lot of newbs come here all starry-eyed at the very concept of legitimately being able to buy drugs online, overwhelmed by the security and BTC acquisition process, and take the juicy offerings put up by brand new sellers. Probably a similar personality to the people who respond to Nigerian princes and their barristers, and people who pay a really cheap rate for an out-of-town roofing company who's around doing roofs "for the next few weeks".I think you have to EARN out of escrow. Not by any set metric, mind you, but you need to bleed a little, suck it up and take the float tie-up for the first while. I didn't even offer the option for out of escrow until I had over 100 sales. And even still, it's not mandatory unless you are a brand new buyer (I was scammed a couple of times, and they were all brand new accounts). But otherwise, it's totally voluntary and I decide to reward getting my money immediately with a bit of a discount. But if a buyer with clean stats doesn't want to do that, they are more than welcome to use the protective system provided.The only situation that I won't do escrow for (or even put up a listing) is bulk. I won't risk that much cash for someone to try to rip a 50% refund out of me at minimum, especially since my margin is so much thinner on bulk as it is. Maybe we should start calling out these sellers? A "Suspicious Practices" thread where only members who have a user # below 10k and at least 50 posts on the forums are allowed to point out sellers sticking it to the new buyers. Or start messaging them and forward their usernames to SR and getting them to contact these possible-scammers. I'm not saying that everyone doing this actually IS a scammer, but a buyer is 100 times more likely to get ripped off by these types than vetted and proven vendors. Especially in categories like H or meth where buyers are a lot more "eager" for their fix. I have no problem going after these guys who can easily scam (and are scamming a lot of the time), because every scammed buyer is someone who could potentially never come back. And that hurts my own bottom line, which in turn makes me want to stomp on the scamming prick's ball-sack.
