This is scary indeed.  Is this even allowed?  No prices listed.  Looks like all the feedback was written by a robot and has all his 37 transactions in the last 24 hours???  He has been a member for 8 days!!  This needs to be called out!!  Can you even ask for FE only being a vendor that short amount of time with that amount of transaction??? 

Mods???

He just dipped into stealth mode.

This guy has his listings back up again.  I would not purchase from him as he requires finalization early. 

Way to many better vendors to have to do this. 

AVOID.

Ridiculously low prices as well. Blatantly obvious what's going on here.

I have reported this vendor.  Seen this type of bullshit too many times in the past 7 months.

The only thing I think they are lacking is a MP to BTC Exchange service...  Everything about their page says: Shop Elsewhere.

I am very pleased to see other forum members on the look out for this type of behavior by vendors and warning the community. The more people who get clued into the warning signs the safer everyone will be.

I echo what samesamebutdifferent said!  Also, the more people who take the time to click on the "report this vendor" link on a vendor's profile, the better.

I sent these guys a message yesterday, it has been read, but no response. Basically just asked what the deal was and referenced this thread. Their profile specifically said all messages will be responded to immediately. Their listings all say they require FE because they don't turn over product fast enough to hold funds in escrow, but then they have about a hundred listings for quite a bit of weight and many many products.. Extremely fishy.

It appears their vendor status has been revoked or they have gone stealth.
