VsforU,
New seller. Wants everyone to pre-finalize any order over $100, which is 100% of his listings.
Shouldnt that be against site rules?
You should not be allowed to list with only prefinalize as an option since prefinalize is sooooo heavily looked down on.
IMHO the site should protect us at least that much.
Chime in please. This discussion deserves merit.

There are times and places.
I list my special offers and sales are FE-only because I can justify the very low price if I get the float back (I usually have to buy a significant amount more than usual to get the lower price as it is).
All of my regular items are FE-only if you are below my buyer stats, otherwise please go ahead and use the escrow system.
You can add me to this list though, but just because I'm so awesome.... it's suspicious ;)
-
It's up to the buyer to choose whether they want to FE or not, but if the vendor's policy is that you must FE then you can either do it or find another vendor. I personally ask buyers if they want to FE it'd be better for me but they don't have to but that's because my prices are low. I can imagine for vendor's selling expensive products losing their minds waiting for the buyers to finalize and for some reason they always do it late lol.

Feedback has been randomized I think, since the recent changes to it, so if he's a new vendor with limited feedback it's probably going to display the exact same batch of feedback for every single thing. Is it the same feedback as on his main vendor page at the bottom? If it isn't, then yes it's shady as fuck, but if it is it just means he hasn't had enough sales to actually get a list large enough to change it up every time you hit a new item page.

Could be wrong but I think DPR actually changed feedback to most recent 10-15 transactions due to outcry in forums.

check out each one of his listings anarcho they each have exactly the same feedback in exactly the same order from his 1g listing of hash to his 28g listing of weed, also check out this thread http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=14478.0 he is very sketchy and i advise staying away for now, also his pictures are stolen from other websites.

Fair enough. Always err on the side of caution, anyway.

I shot this seller a message on Monday I believe asking if I could do a smaller lot since he was seeking an early escrow disbursement and did not have any feedback. Did not respond and seems like this is the case as many other prospective buyers have ran into the same thing.
I'm also curious as to why this specific seller has not come into the forums to give us some insight as to why he's not only demanding a full payment but why he's also not responding to people actually interested in what he is selling.
Either an LE or scammer in my opinion
