Title: The Top Shelf Scammer
Post by: goliathus81 on May 17, 2013, 01:10 am
I ordered an item from 'The Top Shelf' and Finalized Early because he requested it and he had hundreds of customers that didn't have any problems.

Order never came, and now I can't access his page or the item page. item doesn't exist and is profile just redirects to my inbox.

Can someone check to see what happened to this guy? I messaged admins but they just sent me to the wiki page... not sure how that helps..

his profile was located here...

Hi goliathus81,

The Top Shelf has had his vending privileges revoked for scamming; the reason Support sent you to the Wiki is because Silk Road is not responsible for your order once you leave the safety of the escrow system by Finalising Early. Sorry to hear that you got burned, but that is the risk you are taking when you FE.

Please read the following:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Buyer%27s_Guide#Escrow

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I.27ve_already_finalized_my_order.2C_but_am_having_problems.

Never, ever FE. Finalising means what it sounds like it means: that the transaction has been concluded and both parties are satisfied. Silk Road cannot protect you when you decide to go around the safety that the escrow system provides.

damn. well thanks for the response. he had a ton of good feedback but i guess thats what happens when everyone is forced to 5/5 before shipment. thanks again.

good thing it was only 50 bucks and not 500!

Still though, it was YOUR 50 bucks! :( Please always stay within the safety of the escrow system for future purchases.

Locking as resolved.
