"... in reality it wasnt in transit it was processing still the vendor marked it as in transit" - so you're saying that it was, indeed, marked as being 'in transit', yes? And seriously, you think Silk Road should "help [you] out here"?! Silk Road is already protecting you by providing a trustworthy, reliable escrow service! There is nothing more that can be done apart from the process outlined in my previous post. Your case is no different than anybody else's - you will not get special treatment simply because you feel a bit put out that you have to wait a few days to receive your refund. The process that is in place is there for a reason; it protects both buyers and sellers in the event that something goes wrong. If a vendor is suspended pending investigation and Silk Road cancels all their orders and returns the BTC to customers, but the investigation proves that the vendor did nothing wrong, then the vendor will be out of pocket. As it stands, you will NOT be out of pocket. The system is doing what it needs to do to keep all parties covered. Libertas
