I understand what you're saying, Squirrel, and can see why you think it's a "Ripoff" and unfair but Silk Road assumes all of the risk when hedged orders are placed. It would be entirely impractical to assess cancelled orders on a case by case basis due to the amount of orders that are cancelled by both vendors AND buyers. The vendor in question should really have messaged you to re-send the address, but vendors are free to do business with whomever they wish, and conduct themselves in any manner they wish as long as they do not violate the terms set out in the Seller Contract and Seller's Guide: Seller Contract: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/register_seller Seller's Guide: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Seller%27s_Guide The hedging fee (at 4%) is very reasonable for the risk that Silk Road assumes over what can be - in Bitcoin terms - very long periods of time.
