Silk Road forums

So like the topic title says, I would like to become a vendor, but there are a few things I want to research before starting. I have already researched using Heat Sealed Mylar instead of vaccuum sealing, and I have bought a 6 Inch Direct Heat Sealer and a roll of 5mm Mylar sheet (althought it's rather small). The first question I would like to ask is where is a good place to buy the right kind of Mylar bags/sheets/rolls? Obviously I can cut them up to the size I want, but most of my packages will be rather small, so I'm not concerned about have a huge size. I read a lot of the topics on the Mylar/Heat Sealing stuff, but couldn't find a site with the kind of Mylar I need, and the vendors that were listed on SR either are out or don't sell them anymore (not too mention I'd rather buy it outside of SR because it would probably be cheaper).

The other thing I would like to ask about is how to mail the packages out? How do I pay for postage anonymously (doesn't USPS have prepaid mailers as long as they fall within a certain weight) and how do I choose what kind of return address to use. What is the best way to make it look business-like? And then how do you mail it out, by using different drop boxes around the city? Basically what are the must-knows for protecting myself and my packages?

Any other advice that you could give would be appreciated. I want to be the kind of vendor that people respect and want to come back to because of stealth, speed, quality, etc. So the best way to do that would be to get some advice from those that use these methods themselves and buyers who want vendors to use these methods.

What I meant to say is 4 days is good not 7 because 7 days is to long and if you cancel after 7 days people have waited that fuckin long and will get pissed.  glad to be of help. Dont mess again man I'm don't work here.

In order to fight off the recent DoS attack we had to do substantial reconfiguration to the entire Silk Road system.  We are still working out the kinks, and there are a couple of isses that have to be addressed.  One is deposits and withdrawals not showing up in a timely manner.  We found one problem the new config was causing to this system and fixed it today, so deposits/withdrawals should be flowing now.  If you still don't have yours, please message support on the main site.

The other issue is being logged out seemingly at random.  We are still looking for the cause of this problem, but I assure you it is a top priority and we will get it fixed soon.

Thank you for your patience as we recover from the recent attack.

Thanks.

Yeah I am pretty sure its hedge, so I should get the usd amount back I take it, that would be put me at in a bit of relief.


 The vendor isn't Topnotch, though it is a well reputed cannabis vendor that  I wanted to try out but. At least he didn't put the order through right away so I couldn't cancel it, I hope to hear from him soon. 

Thanks for the quick reply - Hope all goes well with your order's and time here on the road.

Cheeers everyone

Of course I am in the loop reference BTC's taking longer to appear, however, my question has a twist:

I have made several trades thru Cavirtex, and what I generally do is send the BTC's from that acct -- into my Bitcoin wallet -- and then directly to SR.

Last night I was incredibly tired and rather than sending the coin to my personal wallet first, I sent them from Cavirtex directly to SR, eliminating the E-Wallet altogether. So.... When I Copy/Paste the address into my Cavirtex acct (the one on my SR deposit page) is that number unique to my account? Will the coins find there way to me?

If so - this is great because I have found a way to eliminate the need to pay commission to a third party (I'm relatively new).

Thoughts?
