I noticed that the number of drug listings on SR went from 5000+ to 6000+ in the last week. That's a 20% increase in one week, which must mean a huge influx of new vendors. These are people with little experience in how to vend in this market, and little knowledge of the technology and the "professional" shipping expectations of this community. Since the $150 fee wasn't a deterrent to any idiot creating an account and trying to vend without knowing what he is doing, I can understand why it was raised. I can also understand why they wouldn't announce it, because of the black market in vendor accounts that would create.
