Title: are you allowed to deal on the forums?
Post by: anonymouse123 on August 08, 2013, 06:39 am
so you can get an idea of if it would work out for you before spending $500? maybe give some free samples.

Of course!!!

You can vend all you want in the forums for the first 30 days of your forum account.

And send out all the free samples you want, as that is a great way to get business. You will have only the best SR has to offer you sending you their address for free drugs. And as soon as you make $500 and you get a vendor account, those same people you sent free drugs too will become buyers for you.

Also they will give you great reviews.

I am glad you wrote this post so that others know. As there is no information on what you asked anywhere in this forums. And everyone knows the search option does not work. Every time you go to use it, it will tell you that someone else just searched for that very same thing and you have to wait 5 seconds.

Good luck to you and welcome to SR forum vending.

Ps. Make sure that when you send out free samples, that the people sending you their address use pgp. If they do not, your fucked and so are they.

To be perfectly clear, RxKing was being sarcastic about everything except the PGP part. Vending on the forums is not allowed! Especially for you because last I heard, you were trying to scam a vendor I think.

Wait, during some outages there were several vendors selling on the forums.
I know it's probably not allowed for anyone to do it, but if you are a vendor on SR and have the Vendor Status beside your name (which I believe requires you to have a forum signature to your SR profile) I believe you can vend on the forums. This might just be during certain times or circumstances, but i know if you visit Product Offers I have seen a few thread where people "buy" direct. I can't guarantee anything was legit, but as far as being allowed I'm not sure why you couldn't as long as you are a vendor.

I can't believe you wrote this.

This is what you believe and your a vendor???

Jesus Christ I didn't know so many people didn't know shit.(not saying you Walmart, as I read your second sentence)


As a vendor you can promote or tell anyone about what you are selling on SR. But under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can you vend through the forums, meaning not go through SR.


And if you have ever seen a vendor profile that said  "buy direct" that vendor would lose there account if you let SR know about it.(and you should)

The number one thing other then  "do not keep address" ( that should just be common sense but clearly there are some really stupid vendors) is under no circumstances do you vend in any way except through SR.

PERIOD.

Not saying that I'd do it, just that I've seen it done and I have actually made a purchase from a vendor (that I had done business with before) through the forums. This was several months back (a year?) but during the outage I saw the forums filled with mostly high rated vendors offering their products during the blackout. Not sure, but i think these were unplanned or very long.       

But what you said about vending outside of SR - anywhere you can point me to that? I know you can't do SR transactions outside of SR, but what's stopping me (Vendor Rule Wise) from using a BTC merchant API to make a .onion webstore? Wouldn't that also mean I could lose my account for having a BMR account?

YOU answer your own question "I know you can't do SR transactions outside of SR"


But if you had a webstore then that would be doing business through the webstore....

And if you have a BMR account then you would be doing business through that.

As an SR vendor you can not vend through the forums or outside of Escrow.

You already see the thin line there is, so use common sense. If someone messages you here or on SR then you can not tell them to contact you at xxxx. And if they message you in the forums trying to do business then you direct them to your SR page.

Also there is a vendor support button at the bottom of your page, use that, and ask them what you are asking in here. That is the place to get your answer :)

And...NO...you will not lose your SR account just for having a BMR account.

My apologies if you are innocent. I didn't follow what happened very closely. That's why I included "I think".

WalMart, I think you should consider reading the entire Seller's Guide over.

But from what I understand here it is against SR rule to provide a link to your vendor profile on BMR, Atlantis, ect.?

As far as I know it's not against the rules. It's simply inconsiderate and frowned upon.

Jesus Christ Wal-mart... do you have common sense??????? Why the fuck would you need to advertise those other sites on SR???? Just read what the member above me says.... I can't fathom someone would need this pointed out to them.

The only thing stupider is the OP's post. Asking if you need to buy a vendor account or can you just try it out here in the forums first! WHAT A DUMB FUCK!

Placing a ling from BMR can give you problems. You can bet on it if the link is yours.
But alking about someone just of a  name the name on BMR  is feedom of speech. DPR i anarchist-enough, left oriented western values in SR. They just want dfreedom. amoney is coming like it's raining cats and dogs. Torrent of money. DPR will do nothing. It is against her principles to deside what is seen and what not.
A freedomfighter from a universal leavel DPR is a she, and should leave no info on her side about her profile. The point she likes books helps L.E. t narrow her down. My guess is that they want her head, To get SR fom internet is useless, because there be several moresites like SR and everbody will switch. When DPR is taken out and put to jail. she will not be able to run her new and better Silkroad-reloaded,
And there is still the debate if the NSA have to infotn

If the Seller's Guide isn't detailed enough here is the rest of the story.

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=178694.msg1298153#msg1298153

1 Is a vendor allowed to link their Atlantis/Black Market Reloaded-accounts in their Silk Road Profiles?
2 Is a vendor allowed to link their Atlantis/Black Market Reloaded-accounts in their Silk Road Forum Profiles?
3 Is a vendor allowed to link their Atlantis/Black Market Reloaded-accounts in a Silk Road Forum Post?
4 Are other users in the Silk Road Forums allowed to link to vendors on Atlantis/Black Market Reloaded?
5 If a vendor is allowed to link their Atlantis/Black Market Reloaded-accounts at any place here on Silk Road, is the same true for a personal web site created by the vendor itself?
6 Is a vendor more likely to be allowed to link to a different e-commerce site if the products sold there are entirely different from Silk Road?
7 Is a vendor more likely to be allowed to link to a personal web site of any kind if the products there are legal (but still sold illegally) ?
8 Are there any Official Policies or Agreements in place with sites like Atlantis and Black Market Reloaded on this subject?

It would be nice if any additional information which I didn't cover in the questions could be included as well if it helps the understanding of this matter.  :)

I numbered your questions to make them easier to respond to:
1 No
2 No policy, so yes for now
3 No policy, so yes for now
4 Yes
5 the answers are the same for personal websites as they are for other markets
6 & 7 These don't affect the answers above
8 No

I'll add that instructing customers who contact you on SR to buy elsewhere is also prohibited.  The forums are about discussion and openness, so so far I've done everything I can to limit censorship here and honestly I don't want to bother policing it.

Silk Road hosts a vendor's storefront and for that service we take a small cut of each trade.  To use your storefront here to collect customers and take them elsewhere isn't just breaking your contract, it's shady and underhanded.  I do take offense when people use the infrastructure I've created and maintain and made open to just about everyone and use it to direct people elsewhere.  So, I'm not going to try to stop you from linking elsewhere on the forum, but it's not respectful in the least, and I think it should be frowned upon by others as well.

I don't personally use BMR or any other market, I'm just curious since I've seen it on several vendor pages and in signatures.       
The wiki is quite brief, I'm not saying that I'm going around advertising it, and I'm not saying OP should vend on here before (or that that's even allowed).

I've seen vendors advertise on Forums when SR is down, I've seen several cvendors with websites (not stores), and many that have links to alternate markets on their signatures and often profiles.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, but honestly the wiki is very brief. Farmer1 post cleared it up.

I don't vend on the forums or on any other marketplace, but I do offer TOR hidden services which are quite hard to detail if I can't list a URL other than SR related.
