Title: Going into resolution with a Vendor is it safe?
Post by: sclerogal on May 21, 2013, 04:02 pm
Can retaliation from a Vendor really happen?

Do you mean can they retaliate because they have your address if you go into resolution?

Vendors are not permitted to keep addresses - if they are found to be doing this, they will be suspended immediately.

It is absolutely safe to go into resolution for any order. No vendor will risk losing their account by threatening a buyer - one who tried to do that recently, "liston", was suspended and nothing more came of it. If a vendor threatens you in any way whatsoever report it immediately to one of the mods here and we will see that an investigation takes place and the vendor is dealt with if the need should arise.

Thanks Libertas.  I wasn't threaten.  I had a question since this is a sticky subject not on the wiki for us newbies.  I'm pretty sure you know the vendor I have in question and it's correct to say that Vendor is active with other products.  I'm pretty sure I'm not the only resolution case for this one.

I'm not sure who you might be talking about but I would advise you to keep all communications within the resolution center - don't communicate with the vendor directly regarding the resolution.

Best of luck with it in any event, and never let a vendor intimidate you. 99.99% of vendors are great folks and wouldn't ever even dream of doing that but we're here to help if that ever does occur.

Anythings possible i guess, Best thing you can do , and that I have done is try to be as polite and cool headed as possible and talk to the vendor let him know you  are a reasonable guy and just want whats fair for both parties.  and hope hes as reasonable as you

Really the best way to protect yourself against this is to research vendors as best as possible (easier said then done sometimes when the best deal is a new vendor youve never dealt with ) and try not to deal with any loose cannons (again easier said then done as scammers are polite and sincere as they come at first)

Thanks again.  I was also curios if this has happened before.
