Title: Strange Vendor Behavior
Post by: streetmodo on May 22, 2013, 03:55 am
i've been a long time browser and active on the main site but never posted on the forums before. just wanted to get your input on this:

attempted to order 4x of a listing at a lower than usual price from a vendor today in escrow. less than 5 minutes after i placed the order, it was canceled for reasons unknown to me. my buyer stats are impeccable. i sent the vendor a message asking why my order was canceled; they read it and didn't respond. after i noticed that 4-5 people left feedback stating they had to FE per vendor request, i sent another message asking if the vendor would cancel my order if i placed another one. the message was read but still no response.

i've been in a similar situation before with vendor 'xanax bar', and they turned out to be scamming people (it was confirmed on these forums).

let me know what you think.

If you have low stats, the vendor cannot justify asking you to Finalize Early. Thus the cancellation.

Hi streetmodo,

Some vendors cancel orders because they run out of product, some because they have too high a workload at the time and others for personal reasons etc.

There are plenty of vendors on the road that would be very happy to do business with you, however, so simply pick somebody else and remember to always stay within the safety of the escrow system. :)
