Title: Acceptable refund rate vendors please weigh in.
Post by: USdirectforyou on March 02, 2012, 01:23 pm
So I keep getting clients wanting pretty large orders with stats like  3/36% with iether large or small amounts of money but than I also get buyers who have MANY buys like 40-50 and have spent 5k plus but have crazy refund rates. How do you pick and choose a potential scam buyer?

I hate to say it but I try and just go with my gut and a little common sense.
If someone wanted a pound of weed and they didn't have stellar, off the charts purchasing stats I would  break it up into quarters and ship it a quarter at a time... get one, finalize... send another.
In the end I am the one who is taking the majority loss if things go bad so I don't think asking someone, with not so solid stats, to work with me is asking to much.
 'ALL' sellers need some kind of 'Refund Policy' on their main seller page and on each item listing... yeah I know it is a hassle especially if you have a ton of listings but if it came down to SR making a decision on a dispute between a buyer and a seller I would think the Refund Policy would hold considerable weight.
Lastly I am not Pablo Escobar... I cannot afford to lose shipments to the post office and cheating buyers. My 50/50 policy is designed to lessen the impact of an interdicted package on myself and the buyer and in the case of a cheating buyer he only gets half his money back so hopefully he will pick a richer seller instead of someone selling cheap weed.

Unfortunately there are far to many loopholes in this system to ever make me feel safe to sell to anyone... in the end all we have is our gut and a little common sense.

Thanks!
TJ

I can't vouch for others but I always buy large and I would be upset if I ordered a LB and I got a QP and then 5 days later get another and another and so on I put the money out to purchase then I would like my full order This vendor I deal with now allows me to escrow till my shipment arrives and thats great because real suck to lose $2500 in coin and him losing $2500 in product the escrow is a safety feature for buyer & seller.

you will almost always have to take a chance as there are alot of us as new members including me I found the vendor that I wanted to deal with and sent him a couple emails and then purchases and now things are great and I think there would be only 2 vendors that I would what I am looking for (HASH) if I wanted coke I would have to find
two other vendors for that product

as TJ said you have to use common sense and guts
