You're very welcome. Sorry to hear that things are tough financially, but hopefully you will be able to raise the money for the bond in some way. The terms of the bond are set in order to make it harder for scammers to get a foothold. Please note also that your sales must total $1500 to meet the terms in order to get a refund. I'm afraid there's no other way to sell on Silk Road - all vendors must enter into the Seller bond before any sales can take place. Best of luck with it in any event. Libertas
