Quote from: brianbertz on January 23, 2013, 12:09 amI think sr should make it so part of the now rediculous 500 dollar fee to be a vendor should be refunded after a certain amount of time as long as you have a decent feedback rating or aren't considered a scammer. Maybe like half refund or something after 90 days if you have a higher feedback of like 90 and more than 50 transactions. Anyone think this is a good idea.Quote from: Silk Road Seller's Guide - Bond sectionBondYou are required to pay a bond when opening a seller's account that will be refunded to you after you have demonstrated that you are an asset to the Silk Road vendor community. To be eligible for a refund, you must have completed at least 30 transactions totaling $1,500 or more and have been a vendor for at least 6 weeks. To request a refund, send a message to vendor support after you have met these conditions. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee you will be granted a refund. All requests will be reviewed manually.The 'bond' referenced in the Bond section refers to the $500 vendor account fee.- grahamgreene
