I made an order from him on SR and got it. He mentioned his webite in a PM and I decided to make a purchase there cause they had lower prices. So I make the order and should have it monday. What was odd though is that they started giving excuses that they couldn't ship it on time. Then they sent me a message saying that prices were going to 'go up' on Monday and that were should order soon. This does not sit well with me.

Unfortunately, the Bitcoin exchange rate isn't as stable as we would all like it to be, and can fluctuate wildly in a matter of hours, let alone the days or weeks it takes for a package to arrive. Because of this, there is a real danger that the Bitcoins being held in your escrow account will lose value by the time your vendor gets paid or you are refunded. So, we've given the option to vendors to hedge the future payments they are expecting from escrow such that the dollar value of the payment doesn't change as the Bitcoin exchange rate changes.
For example, a seller is hedging the escrow for a 10 btc order you place with them, and the dollar value of your order when you purchase it is $100. Now, let's say your order never arrives and your vendor agrees to a full refund, but those 10 btc are no longer worth $100, they're worth $50! Because your vendor hedged the escrow, you won't get a refund of 10 btc, you'll get 20 btc equaling the original value of $100. Of course, the opposite is also true. If Bitcoins appreciate in value while your order is in escrow, your refund will be fewer Bitcoins, but still equaling the original dollar value.
When checking out, you will see which orders will be hedged and which won't. After the order is placed, your escrow balance will reflect the dollar value of your hedged orders and the Bitcoin value of your unhedged orders. All hedged orders are hedged as soon as the order is placed. So when getting a refund for hedged items, don't be surprised if the number of Bitcoins you get back is not the same as the amount you paid.

I DID NOT< RECEIVE MY ORDER FROM EJ DIRECT-LESS MY (RESOLUTION) AFTER (((((((( NOT FE'ING)))))) WAS $27 SHORT, TO MAKE THIS ALL CLEAR.
Why can't a vendor have his own website outside of SR?
I'll go ahead and lock the thread since this has been resolved.
scout,
i CAN UNDERSTAND him not allowed to use SR to promote his site, but how can u guys make him shut his site down? and just wondering what could u really do if he told u guys to fuck off he was keeping it up? Im not being a smart ass im wanting to know , what could SR really do other than bitch at him and suspend him from SR? and then he could continue selling on his own site,
hes gone to BMR and is gonna advertise his site and bring it back up soon,so i dont think u guys have done much really.. And now its possible a few of us have lost our drug orders, u could have giving him enough time to finish the sales he made to us and all before u had him shut down shop..
If i dont get my order I want some coins from somwhere,n rite now SR is the reason he shut down for now.. Hell be back up from what i understand though just in a more undercover way
