Customer support / Re: My vendor account has been hacked
« on: May 16, 2013, 02:09 pm »
Locked as no response from OP in over 24 hours, despite them being online. The issue has been resolved as the vendor account in question has been suspended.

Very sorry to hear that, ladanum. Have you reported this via the 'report this vendor' button on their account page?

All I can think is it would have to FE for buying the account the funds then are moved to a new buyers account and held there until the new owner of the account is happy. I know this isnt official escrow but atleast that way the funds are still in the system and can easily be taken back via the resolution centre if the buyer isnt able to login. (another seller could list it etc but this may add complications)

If a buyer chooses to FE against our recommendations that is their choice, but funds cannot be taken back once a buyer finalises on an order. Silk Road does NOT get involved in situations where buyers make the ridiculous decision to FE. One a buyer finalises, the possibility of taking the situation to resolution is impossible as the transaction is considered finalised (item has been received and the buyer is 100% satisfied with it) - hence 'finalise'.

As you said an account is essentially free, so really its just the feedback of the account thats worth anything and that wouldnt really be worth anything once the account changes hands.. so really the buyer of the account gets the account name, some fans (who will need re-convincing and some feedback that will need re-proving)

Cant be worth too much really can it.. but it would relief the mental stress and paranoia my mate is going through so maybe he can just practically give it away or take offers. I'll discuss all this with him further.

Why doesn't your friend just complete all current orders (if any), take down all listings, go into stealth mode and forget about it? ???

Customer support / Re: Why is refund rate so high ???
« on: May 16, 2013, 01:47 pm »
I've been a silk roader for over a year. I just had my very first  package no show. SR admin gave me full refund of around $40. I previously had 0% refund rate 0% auto finalize. This changed my current stats to:

Total transactions: 77
Total spent: $6342.3
Refund rate: 6.33%
Auto-finalize rate: 0%
Member for: 1 year

How the heck is $40 = %6.33 of $6342.3  ????

This is not correct. This should be % 0.633........WTF ?

Hi Fah-Q,

I'm afraid the system does not calculate it as simply as that; please see the SR Wiki here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#Why_are_my_stats_incorrect.3F

Simply explain to any vendors what has happened (most of them know how the refund rate works) but as long as your refund rate remains below 15%, you shouldn't have any issues at all. Your refund rate will also drop with future transactions.

Thread locked as resolved.

Yep, this is a scam, just for those who may be wondering about its legitimacy. Silk Road will NEVER send you messages like these.

Newbie discussion / Re: [AUSTRALIA] Vendor List
« on: May 16, 2013, 01:39 pm »
Maybe so... But I can easily be found on Silk Road. I can't hide my country and I didn't give out any additional details.

I know, I was just pointing it out for the less security conscious vendors, Dingo! ;)

Ok so he would list product under services or whatever - account for sale.

Take the payment but how could the escrow be released to my friend, as the buyer of the account would want the password and withdrawl code to work before releasing funds? or could this just be monitered by SR staff in resolution centre if it went wrong.

Alternatively I guess payment could be made to a new buyers account to give who ever purchases the account immediate access to the account but that would bypass the escrow but could be monitered by SR? A little confused on how this would take place using the escrow service.

What would you value a sellers account at? 100% feedback etc..

I don't know how one would go about selling it; it would presumably have to be done through another vendor account - possibly if another vendor were to offer to oversee the sale, though they would then be leaving themselves liable if something goes wrong.

NO sales are permitted without going through the Silk Road order system - they MUST go through escrow.

I wouldn't offer to put a value on a seller's account at all as I don't really agree with selling them from a security perspective; from a libertarian perspective they should of course be allowed for sale, but there is just too much risk for buyers to be scammed when somebody buys an established vendor account. That being said, every person is responsible for their own actions, and if they choose to FE for an established vendor account despite knowing they could get scammed at any time, that is their own decision. We already recommend people stay within the safety of the escrow system, but if they wish to ignore those recommendations and they get burned, it is their own problem as there will be nothing Silk Road can do.

I would also like to state that a vendor account on Silk Road is essentially free as the $500 payment is a bond - not a fee - which is refundable when the terms of said bond are met.

Would you suggest I message SR support on the main site? I'm weary of annoying them about such small things especially when there's already a backlog, however I also don't want to keep posting in another persons thread and diverting the mods attention when it's best spent on other things that are more deserving of their attention....

Hi Laissez-Faire,

I'll check myself to see what the situation is with that - I don't think scout has heard back so it's possible an admin overlooked it.

I'll get back here if I hear back in the next few hours but if I don't, feel free to message SR Support about it.

### Do NOT go to that link!!! ###

The site asks you to download a "Hidden wallet" - it is likely a wallet.dat stealer, a keylogger, or something that will de-anonymise you. Please use the 'report this post' function if you see this posted elsewhere in the forums.

Newbie discussion / Re: I know how to kill the spamming...
« on: May 16, 2013, 12:41 pm »
How do these bots verify themselves?
Anyway, I think there should be a timer on how often an account can create a topic (assuming there isn't one already) like once every 10 minutes or so.

Restricting how often people can create topics would massively infringe on the free speech that we protect so vehemently here. There Newbie forum section was created to contain the spam so as a moderator can delete it as soon as one of us gets online.

Please see the SR Wiki here:

Why isn't my deposit showing up in my account?

It can take up to 6 hours for a deposit to be confirmed on the blockchain, processed, and credited to your Silk Road account. If your deposit still hasn't shown up, first check that it is showing up on the blockchain by searching for your deposit address on a site like blockchain.info. If your transfer doesn't appear here, then it was never sent and you need to find out why from the person or organization who initiated the transfer. If the transfer does appear, then there could be a problem on our end and you should contact us.
