i placed an order with pinkyandthebrain yesterday and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. has anyone had dealings with him? it says "has been a member for 2 months
was last seen: today
ranked in the top 33% of sellers with 100% positive feedback from 70 transactions
has 123 fans "
is there a place in the forum to check on vendors reputability? i looked around and couldn't find any such place.
also, in my order for shipping i checked "europe" at .14 BTC. is that only for delivering to europe? i need it to come to north america.. i'm worried because there was a "world" option and i chose europe. is this going to be a problem? i'm not worried about it being lost or seized as it's such a small package and lsd is odorless.
can anyone please help ease my concerns?

A vendor's page is typically the best place to check their reputation. The information you quoted speaks very well of him, and then you can also find feedback at the bottom of his page.
It's the weekend. Vendor's aren't Amazon, and even most small businesses don't operate over the weekend. Did you send him a message or did you simply place an order?
If the only shipping option was Europe then I'm not clear why you went ahead and ordered rather than sending him an inquiry, but I suppose he can always just cancel your order.

I can't comment on the vendor in question but when it comes to checking vendor rep in general most should have their own review thread and there are other threads dedicated to specific drugs you should have a good read of.
It is worth mentioning though the vendors ratings on the main site can be manipulated with spurious feedback, this tends to happen more when a vendor is first starting out and if you see lots of "FE for trusted vendor 5/5" type feedback posts it pays to go digging on the forums to see what others have posted to see how legit this is. The rating scale only works when used in tandem with the forums by buyers.
Also be cautious regarding new vendors offering too good to be true prices, one MDMA vendor whose listings were very competitively priced appears to have disappeared over the weekend, don't know what happened yet but anyone who FE'd can be sure they have lost their coins.

thanks for the quick reply. i did send a message before placing the order. i haven't heard anything from him at all yet. good point about the weekend, he might just be busy.
there was 2 shipping options. "europe" and "world". i checked "europe" i was unsure of the differences between the two and i didn't have enough in my account to covering costs of picking "world" so i clicked "Europe" only realizing that might limit the location of delivery after i finalized the order. it's coming from Belgium btw.

Very busy today.

There are three main ways to evaluate a vendor's rep all based on the forums and ideally all should be used in conjunction. If noone is posting about them in the forums then they are probably not a good vendor to deal with.
1 search for the vendors name in the forum search and read all posts with that vendor's name in them
2 read all the posts in threads about that vendor
3 click on the forum profile of the vendor in question and click "show posts" to see all of the posts that vendor has made
if the vendor is reputable and cares about the community all of these searches will turn up positive results

Good advise - +1

thanks. i typed his name in the search forum and only 4 posts came up minus this thread so 3. 3 posts mentioning his name with nothing significant mentioned.
i went into the memberlist and put his name in and it says no results. maybe he has a different forum name than his SR name. maybe he's not on the forums. should this be a concern even though he has seemingly good rep?
could someone please address the shipping option? will i have to cancel and place the order again?

there are lots of threads for that!

The best way to check the rep of a vendor is looking at their page and numbers such as ranking and feedback percentage, in other words looking at facts not made up rumors with the purpose of slandering a vendor. I know as a fact that people lie about vendors in Rumer Mill forum.
The vendor you ordered from sounds legit, he has 100% feedback but he is a newbie (only two months as vendor) which is the only negative I see. However he/she will probably cancel order bc if he only ships to Europe he will only have Europe as a shipping option and you did not message him/her first to find out if he will do an exception for you. You messaged him today and he has not reply yet, all businesses have a standard 48 hour rule to return messages so just be a little patient, I am sure vendor will get back to you as soon as he he can, He/She is probably just really busy.
