mdmafx,
The dude had 99,x feedback rate with a few hundred transactions... So u could think why should he fuck for 200usd when he has made 1xxxx usd?
The feedback system is completely useless on SR .. Many scammer has above 97% good feedback..
baxton, I do not makes the rules I just work within them. The FE issue has been rumbling on since I first joined SR and will continue to do so and when you have been here for a while you will see it is just as easy to get scammed inside of escrow than out, you have to consider all the factors when placing an order and research the shit out of any new vendors you are considering using.
It takes months to hone your skills and know what to look for, as is the case with importer who seemingly just relocated from Denmark to Australia and had defqons that NO ONE has for sale in AU. If you overlooked those massive red flags and just looked at the feedback score then of course you would consider the feedback system completely useless, you only looked at one very small aspect of how this place works.
After 10 months on here I can spot a scam a mile off and my intuition has yet to let me down. Some people will never get their head around how this place works, you only have to look at some forum members posts where they seem to get scammed on every fucking deal they make, if you don't know what to look for you will get burnt.
