Did you try posting in the Spare Coins thread?  Might get some help from some of the good people in there.

What happened?!  What was your post?  I didn't see it either, but I hope you don't leave - your opinions and comments are always appreciated!!!  Don't go!  :(

Sadly I think he meant he was leaving for the day.

Digging my new avatar what's up with that?

Yeah, no idea what's going on with the images.  Right now, I don't see avatars for anyone, but sometimes there will be about 6 avatars for each person!  Happened around the time of the forum upgrade, so it must just be an issue they're still looking into.

In all seriousness though if LE were ever to take over the site they would take it down immediately. Even with access most buyers will be using pgp, especially the bigger orders that LE want to catch, so really all they would get is a few addys of personal users. They would never allow all the pgp sales to continue unimpeded in order to catch some small fish. Also most vendors would be smart enough to make sure that LE cant trace bitcoins from their SR wallet to it's final destination.

This.

To clarify - are you talking about BUYING bitcoins with cash, or SELLING bitcoins for cash?

PayPal transactions are easily reversible, so anyone using PayPal for these things is at high risk for being scammed.

If you're looking for a business that sends cash for bitcoins:
bitcopia.com
fastcash4bitcoins.com

Buying bitcoins is 100% legal.  Selling bitcoins is 100% legal.  Sending cash in the mail is 100% legal (though not covered by shipping insurance after a certain point). 

These services already exist, so it's not a "crazy idea" nor is it in any way impossible --- however, it would be the worst business plan in the world to accept PayPal payments for bitcoins.

Actually, the admins specifically instructed moderators to delete/lock spam threads and scammer threads.  That comes directly from "the top" - from inigo, in fact.  So, yes, as moderators we are asked to help weed & flush out scammers here on the forums.  The admins themselves have deleted (and locked) many scammer threads in order to protect the community.

Yep, they are listed in the stickied thread at the top of this forum.

You need a vendor account in order to sell here, malcontente72.

If he shipped something on the18th, don't forget that Monday was a holiday ... so it could just still be in transit.

I completely understand that which is why at first I wasn't worried. But when he doesn't respond messages for 7 days and he has been called out for being a scammer it makes me think otherwise. He also said that he would send a DCN number "immediately" which he hasn't, despite being online everyday. He has even messaged a couple other people who have bought from but won't message those of us who ordered bulk from him back. In face he wont even open them so that it gets marked as read. I wouldn't be coming to this conclusion if it was just me, there are many others that are in the same boat as I am. Some even placed their orders days before mine. Why are there so many precautions to protect the vendors from being scammed and the only thing the buyer can do is stay in escrow? The vendor has the upper hand 100% of the time. The buyer is the one who has to reveal personal information such as an address and stuff and all the vendor has to do is write up something for his vendor page, post some pictures of weed that he googled and bam he starts stealing peoples money.

I'm not defending the vendor at all - totally understand where you're coming from and why you are concerned.  You have every right to be upset!  The vendor absolutely should respond to messages and, well, not scam people! 

As for precautions ... SR takes a lot of precautions to protect buyers!  The escrow system works!  As long the buyer stays in escrow, they are protected and won't lose any money if the vendor never sends the package.

You did stay in escrow, right?  If so, you have nothing to worry about.

RxKing is 100% legitimate - I can promise that, even if NW Nugz won't.

All of that depends on the details of your particular case, so no one here can really tell you the outcome or whether or not you'll get a 100% refund.  I'm also not sure whether or not you can get an admin to review it sooner - you were the one who extended his due date, so I wouldn't think you could "undo" that choice. 

Still, if you really were scammed, 7 days isn't going to make a non-existent package show up any faster!  What I mean is - if the vendor scammed you and never sent a thing, you're not going to be receiving anything in 7 days so it's just a matter of waiting (which isn't always easy, i know).
