Title: Refund rate
Post by: flavourful on January 01, 2012, 07:04 pm
I went to place an order today with muskabuzz and he canceled it and told me my refund rate was 85%.
This really confuses me because I have had 21 in escrow orders and only 1 refund
the 1 refund was for a NY ID from peach for $210 that never came after a month i got my refund.
Shouldn't i have a 5% refund rate?

You can see your buyer stats when you're signed in at SR http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/account/buyer_stats

I've no clue how the buyer stats calculations are done, but from what you've said your rating doesn't sound right.

yeah i checked and its right...
20/21 would be 5% or 95% success rate
I suspected it may be by amount of USD refunded but I know i have spent at least 300$ and that would be a 66% refund rate.

Dude, if you've spent about $300, and had $210 refunded, never mind your refund rate, that means you had 20 purchases at an average of under $5 each.

That's looks pretty sketchy to me, regardless of the refund rate.  :-\

No i haven't spent 300 I'm saying even if i only spent 300.
Like... i don't know how much i have spent but i know it is above that and even if it were that low the number wouldn't match

I think it may be based on BTC refunded instead of USD or number of purchases
I was thinking about it and most of the time i go out of escrow and most of my purchases are small now, random downloads or btc exchanges, and all the 100+ dollar things i bought was when i first got on SR and btc's were valued at $12, and the ID i bought was $210 at like $2.8/btc

You sound sketchy bro. Whatever your doing doesn't sound correct. SR may of been right in this case to give you such a high refund rate despite 1 refund because of the weird way you purchase.

Well the thing is I don't really do drugs, the only time I bought in escrow was to sample products, I buy bulk $1000-2000 from reputed vendors out of escrow.
hopefully one of them will vouch for me...

Ive done business with flavorful. Didnt have any problems with the transactions.
You should message SR about your stats.

@muskabuzz

I've been working with this one for a while now, many transactions all decent quantities, he's always been straight. I'll vouch for him.

I have done 5-10 transactions of exchanging bitcoins for MoneyPaks with flavourful over the last 3 months and he has been totally 100% drama free and no trouble at all and a very decent chap.  I'd ship him any day if I was a vendor.

I had the worst luck ever and had my 2 first refunds in a row. I thought: "Okay, shit happens" and then I looked at my refund rate - it's several percents higher than it should be! Enlighten me please, this really bothers me!
