I'm sorry to sound like a hard ass. But I'm sick of people not following instructions.

From now on if anyone PM's me asking to buy a vending account I will put you at the back of the list. I will not upgrade your account until EVERYONE else who follows instructions has been upgraded.

55+ messages of people not following instructions.

This is only a temporary measure, Automatic vending accounts will be turned on soon.

Just sent you the bond and PM Sarge

I got it, and thats fine, you followed instructions and I asked you to PM me.. Ill have you sorted in 10mins..

I'd have you sorted in 2 minutes if I didn't have go to through 10 pm's asking to buy a vending account without following instructions

I'm just trying to keep it fair and orderly. Right now first come first serve.

I'll be doing 25 registrations a day. 

But please do not PM me about it..  It just slows down the process. A LOT.

Follow the instructions.

It should only take 24-48 hours to get registered.

Thread locked. First 25 people will be registered ASAP

Are vendor verifications permanently closed? If not, can verifiable vendors pay now and get verified later for a refund?

Vendor verification is permanently closed. This mean there is no way to get a vendor account without paying a bond. However nw nugz, it looks like you are already a verified vendor?

Hi there. Top 4%-9% SR1.0 seller for over a year under a different name. I can sort this out via PM. I'm currently "instrument" on BMR an just starting on TM and have an exceptional order history and did a lot of sales in only ~40 days.. even when using a new identity.

I'd like to vend on SR 2.0, but I"m not sure if Id like to return with my big SR name. Please log in to your BMR account and view my BMR vendor statistics! My PGP key is there, and I can sign PGP messages if needed,  but I'd have to hop on my more secure system in my office.

Vendor verifications have closed.

Please only reply in this thread if you wish to pay a bond. All other messages will be removed

I have asked DPR permission to manually accept vendor registrations again. This is just a temporary measure while we are waiting for development to finish the automated feature.

The vendor bond has increased to $500 USD - this amount is fully refundable.

Bond are refunded after: 30 transactions totaling at least $1,500USD and having been a vendor for at least 6 weeks

You will not gain access to the vendor round table until AFTER your bond is refunded.

I will only be registering  25 vendors at a time.  This will be on a first come first served basis. Please reply to this thread if you wish to buy a vendor account. Once 25 people have replied, I will lock the thread until I have finished registering all repliers. After this time I will open it up for another 25 people. I will continue to do this until the automated feature has been turned on.

Once you have replied, please be patient, I will PM you with further instructions.

IMPORTANT: I Will ignore ANY PM's requesting vendor registration. Please do not PM me unless I PM you. It will be a first come first serve basis, if you miss out, please be patient and wait for the next round

UPDATE: DO not fall for scam attempts. Make sure its me pming you by checking the blue bars under my name.


Registering as a vendor FAQ

How can I register as a vendor?
You must reply here silkroad5v7dywlc.onion/index.php?topic=9108  "I will pay a bond" And wait for me to PM You.

But this thread is locked?
You will need to wait, I have locked it because I am backed up manually registering other people. You just have to try and catch it when its unlocked

Should I just PM you and ask you to register me?
NO. Do not PM me requesting to be registered as a vendor. PM me for any other reason, but not for this reason.

You haven't replied to my PM requesting to register me as a Vendor!
Correct. I will no long reply to PMs requesting to be registered as a vendor.

But I really really really want to be a vendor. Can you just make an exception, just for me, I'm a long time SR user and I deserve to become a vendor. I'll PM you just too see.
Prepare to be ignored + perhaps delayed further.

I'm not in your timezone, its unfair!
I'm as fair as I can be, and I will unlock and lock the threads at random times. Try and catch it.

Will there ever be an automated feature to become a vendor?
Yes, this will be very soon. Then there will be no waiting to become a vendor. This is just a temporary measure

When will the automated feature be turned on?
soon.

I'm a old SR/BMR,/Sheep/tormarket/ect vendor. Can you verify me and give me a free account?
No. This has closed

But I  really really want to have a free vendor account. I'm special. Can you make an exception?
No.

I already applied for my vendor verification!
Sorry, if you have not been upgraded now you have missed out. A lot of people missed out, we were caught by suprise by the speed of the down fall of sheep and BMR and halted verifications.

I know you said verifications are closed. But I'll PM you just to make sure
Do not.

How much is bond
$500

I don't have $500, can you make an exception for me?
No

Can I pay you back the bond out of my sales?
No

I've lost $1000+ dollars on SR, and more on Sheep. Why should I have to pay bond? I will generate you millions in commissions!
A lot of people lost money on SRv1 and Sheep. I'm very sorry you lost so much money. You still have to pay bond.

If I PM you a sad story, maybe you will feel sorry for me and I can get a free vendor account
I will feel sorry for you. But I still wont give you a free vendor account. I'll also be a little pissed off you didn't read this FAQ.

I send my bond to someone claiming to be Vendor Registration or someone who was not Sarge (with blue bars under his name)
SR Takes no responsibly for BTC sent to scammers. Please make sure you only send your bond to me and double check that I have the blue bars under my name

Thanks for sharing this DPR

It is definitely much better to let their horrible security practices become public knowledge rather than let the feds download the database in secret whenever they please.

I'm glade you spend so much time on security as opposed to UI.
