Its not about money at all.
DPR and whoever else runs this doesnt need the extra $350 .. in fact if it was only about money they would let ANYONE sell ANYTHING because the commissions are made whether an item is legit or scam.
This price increase is about protecting the community from scammers/banned members just remaking accounts with no care.
Its not a perfect solution but its a step in the right direction.
When you got people saying "fuck i dont care ill just get 2 new accounts" and only having to come up with $300, thats not right. $500 increases the risk scammers have to put up.
-
Good news to me. Unfortunately I've been putting off buying an account for a few weeks now.. Oh well. I'm afraid flinstone is right, $500 bucks should be nothing to anybody I wanna be dealing with.
-
this is a good protection in my opinion.
If someone can not pay 500 bucks to open a seller account,
how are they gonna upfront their bulk and all the equipment the need in terms of safe shipment etc?
No, I think 500 is a good and reasonable price.

I have a vendor account I havent used in months. I should probably sell it now.

Im also intersted in buying the seller account, I want to sell fake IDs (Have equipment+stock). My partner wants to sell on BMR (We haven't made an account yet, were going to be starting up within a week/two, were getting shipping supplies etc etc and want to wait out the holiday shipping mess) but I feel that SR has a bigger audience.
I am willing to pay $200 for the account
Just let me know

Downrightfast, aka drhouse on SR unfortunately has taken me for a $200 MP. It was my fault for trusting this member to exchange for btc. I had done trades like that before in the past without incident, hence my continued risk taking.
Facts: provided MP info on 11th, asked for an update on the 12th, replied telling me to relax. no response since.
Unless he forgot about the deal or some other interesting story, this person has scammed me.
This is just a warning to others thinking about trading with this particular member.

Anyone who can prove they had intentions of becoming a vendor surely deserves a rebate of the extra $350 (before OR after they prove themself legitimate)
If the reason for the hike is because of scammers, then it wouldn't hurt, would it?

The issue would be people doing whatever to "prove" they are legitimate and then scamming after they got their $350 back, in effect only losing $150 when losing their vendor status. The important part is letting vendors know that if they are dishonest, they stand to lose $500, which means scamming someone for a couple hundred dollars isn't worth the risk.

This guy sounds like a pissed of scammer that cant come up with the extra money for a seller account. He had $125 saved then DPR raised seller accounts to $500 now his plans to rip us all off are fucked and he came on the forum to complain to US about it.

omg send me the url to it, I really want to start vending and I don't really want to fork over $500 for a new vendor account!

Re-selling a vendor account you bought for $150 for profit is such a terrible thing to do.

I just recently started out and I call tell you right now if the difference between 150 and 500 is gonna kill you were died before you started. In the beginning you are offering insane deals to gain people's trust, plus your fronting shipping on a lot of small packages until you build up enough to actually use your btc without getting hit too hard. If your doing it right you are sucking so you can reinvest as much as you can to expand your business. Your are gonna have to also figure out packaging expenses. I am not saying you can't do I am just letting you know cause no one let me know you aren't gonna get rich it the beginning.

Silk Road is not a place for drug dealers that are just starting out. Not to mention what kind of drug dealer lacks economic resources, a bad drug dealer so we dont need them either.

Re-selling a vendor account you bought for $150 for profit is such a terrible thing to do.
I agree 100% with your view on why the price of a vendor account should be $500! I was thrilled when that was announced as I knew it was a great thing for the community.
However, if you have a vendor account you bought for $150 and can make a profit on it without getting it banned... well that ain't bad at all! That's what Silk Road is, a place to conduct the best business deal you possibly can as long as you own a vendor account... which unfortunately, even though me and you don't like it, people selling vendor accounts do have a vendor account, until it's sold or banned.
-
Ummm , am I missing something here.. Selling your vendor account is prohibited, and will result in a ban.. I assume thats why BloodBath inquired

Your right who cares if they sell there account. I was thinking, what they buy it for $150 and maybe get $400 so thats a profit of $250. If they are going to sell thier vendor account so they can make $250 then its very doubtful that they would be a good vendor anyway.
-
Exactly, they are more likely to scam. Let them sell their accounts, and let's hope SilkRoad can manage to ban anyone guilty of doing it on the forums.

I was going off the idea that about two months ago when I switched over and became a vendor it cost about $200 and all I am saying is if you are gonna bitch about paying $500 to become a vendor you probably gonna have a real hard time making it. I am not saying it isn't fun to be a vendor :) But this is a hobby for me and I am willing throw money at it because I enjoy this stuff especially once you become profitable. My point is though if you are not willing to invest much more than the initial vendor fee you are just gonna flush $500 down the drain.

i think u guys are not that accurate with ur points.i wanted to become a seller aswell. i have a very stable connection to almost every firework available. but i just cant afford 500 bucks to provide a service i would make ~100€ a month (by keeping prices low).
if someone making that big deals so 500$ is nothing to him then the amount he could scam would be even bigger. it just doesnt add up in any way and i think it really looks like the silk road owners getting abit greedy here.
usually peoples are not scammer. they become scammers when they see big money in their hands. if they pay 200 or 500 or 1000 to get in doesnt matter. the profit he will make must addup to the amount he paid to get in, if it doesnt it makes no sense to get in in the first place. and if it does, the amount he could scam would be even way bigger and would always encourage some people to just take it.
i dont think a difference of 300$ will change the scamrate in any way. what i do see happening tho is products getting even more overpriced as they are actually. i have seen some best sellers in their cathegorys i can provide for 1/3 the price and still make a profit... horrible education i think. what is the onion about to become?!

dude that second paragraph makes no fucking sense. you need to work on your grammar and typing pal. SR isn't getting greedy- do you know how much they make off those transaction fees? 500 per vendor account is chump change.
anyways, it most certainly will help the "scamrate". it will make it much more expensive to make a bunch of accounts and scam people, then move on to the next account and repeat. if you are looking to become a vendor and you cannot afford 500 dollars to register you probably wouldn't make it very long. SR is interested in long term vendors and stability. if you put 500 down you are probably a lot more serious about it.
now, people will still scam, and this does nothing about the big problem of established vendors who selectively scam- some of the biggest shitheads in my opinion. but this should help stop the people who make an account solely to burn people or sell fake drugs, and try and clear a couple grand before it gets shut down and confiscated. the 500 barrier is a lot more substantial than 150, and will hopefully make shit scammers think twice

i dont like to talk to people starting a post with 'fucking...' and going after peoples grammar when the language they write is clearly not their native one. i get told by many english people my english is not that bad and even better than some english people ones. but ill make an exception here because i feel i have to.
i have a stable firework source for over 4 years. i make a order providing the same price i get for the fireworks + 10€ 'middleman-cost' for me. i dont make any money out of it but the 10€ per order as for my time. it is just helping the seller sell and getting quality fireworks for the community in here. i cant just put 500$ out of my pocket to do so and might not even get enough sales to cover that? why would i do that? so its absolutely not worth for a firework seller to do business here. i was wondering at first anyway why there are no sellers here. now i know :D
well to buyers-only it might sound good and like 'a little bit safer' (placebo effect in my opinion) but for sellers coming here to help out the community in the first place instead of $$$ its a horrible decision. but even the last dummy will come to the conclusion that this step will raise the prices dramatically because people who sell at low prices will not make enough money to cover the costs of this. so at the end of the day it will be bad for everyone but the owners. I still think people who afford 200$ to scam can also afford 500$. maybe 1-2 scammers less. hope im wrong tho.
-
The dude has a point that this basically cuts Silk Road off from certain markets which would exist here otherwise. The firework market in this case. Hell, I may have never become a successful vendor if the price was $500 when I got here.
Just my two cents, not endorsing the entire statement. I'm personally thrilled about the $500 price to be a vendor, but that's a pretty easy stance to take in my shoes.
-
Said it before and will say it again..... I wouldn't have batted an eye to a 1-2k upfront fee to play in this tank. It's an ocean of money if you can get a solid source and provide proper customer care. If you aren't needing to find ways to hide all this money from all you're making, then you're simply doing it wrong. If I had a solid coke lead still I would be going insane here.
-
That does sound like a very reasonable price for the potential to make alot more.
-
Clean vendor account I should probably get rid of, message me on SR, my services dont seem to be needed. Price negotiable.
