Possible Archetyp Red Flags - Greedy Vendor Bonds - Massive Escrow Balance
Im a darknet vendor, have been for years. Ive had all my money stolen on countless markets over all these years. Ive setup on all markets online at the moment apart from Archetyp. Unfortunatley we have had little to no sales an all these markets since the incognito extortion scam. Seems like all the customers may be on archetyp but with a $650 vendor bond to pay to vend here in our current financial situation for an escrow only account seems risky. Here are other points to note :
1. While its common practice for markets to accept refugee vendors from exit scam markets - archetype doesnt. The vendor bond has more than doubled what it used to be. Seems greedy. Also it states on vendor application - If we deny your application, we will not refund you the application fee, the fee is not refundable. If you do not provide images as requested, do not apply, just leave us, we will not refund you neither grant you vendor rights.
2. They make vendors send pictures of there products in vendor application. Think of all that metadata getting stored by the market !!! We stock like 100 products ! imagine the time it will take to pic them all just to prove to admin that we actually have product to sell ?! Surely having 5 years + postive market feedback on previous markets should be enough
3. Their admin is rude and dismissive on dread - sounds alot like the ASAP admin.
4. There is no FE enabled vendors - only escrow. This is not in the interests of vendors or buyers. All it does is mean there is a shit load of money sitting on site at any one time, more than any market before. Think of all the big big vendors that have moved here only to be hit with escrow only when they are FE on all other markets, they will accrue a massive amount of cash sitting at escrow at any one time.
From obvious past experience with the temptation of all other markets that have exit scammed this is not good news. With the current crypto prices and influx of new users and vendors , an exit here could well be on the cards.
5. You have to fill out a stupid questionaire to apply to vend , here are some examples
Do you have a favorite market and why?
Why do you want to vend on Archetyp?
Do you have a favorite quote you would like to share with us?
Pretty irrelevant questions , just wasting peoples time.
Anyway thought id share my thoughts and concerns ananymously
2 - In /d/Opiates, we require all reviews post a picture of the product, including username, vendorname, and date on a piece of paper, to prove they have the product. Metadata is easily removed from photos, so your point on this tick is moot.
3 - So you don't like the admin's style. Don't use the market.
4 - There are FE vendors on Archetyp. rushrush comes to mind immediately, and I'll wager I could come up with more by doing a some simple searches for various products.
5 - Again, you don't like the admin's style. Don't use the market.
I'll paraphrase what you've posted in your final comments:
Pretty irrelevent post. Wasting people's time.
Just sharing my thoughts on this openly and with my only dread account.
Read this dread post:
... /post/9588e0db27502b3d6c94
How can you read the vendors only forum without a vendor account? You are wrong and I'm right.
would think OP would have $650 and be able to meet the above rather quickly with 5+ years vending...
cheers,
TD
2. Pretty archaic way of verifying stock, surely 5 years of sales history is better than a picture of scag. And obviously most people have no idea about metadata. From incognito 's extortion, the last thing you should send markets is pictures with data attatched to it.
3. No i feel this site is next in the constant line to exit
4. All FE vendors were from when the site was smalltime, they dont allow FE vendors anymore even if you sell $1M a day now , absolute red flag
5. Your obviously on the payroll
Share your thoughts all yo want , i hope they steal all your funds first , or your a shill and you steal everyone elses money, either way your as bad as samwhisky for censoring my free speech
btw, as to 5. I'm not on anyone's payroll. The reason I named this account partytime is because I don't need to work any longer, having made enough to cover my expenses and ensure my future living standard. Good luck.
4. rushrush only just got FE privileges & joined relatively recently as well - they are still awarding FE, they just are more selective about it (which i as a buyer appreciate)
tag teaming with /u/dontlaugh being TOP today 😆? Whats the matter your rear starting to hurt a little?
And correction: power tripping pussy
(can't forget the #1 😁 lol)
Let's make a bet, we both put money in escrow with a trusted user here on dread and if Archetyp is not the next market to exit-scam I win, else you win.
> 5. Your obviously on the payroll
Everyone, and I mean EVERY SINGLE USER ON DREAD who ever says just one single word of positive of either Archetyp or me must be on my payroll because the market is clearly very bad. Everyone can check the market out and instantly realize it's a very very hate able and bad market.
God(/u/BigBossChefOfArchetyp) save Archetyp

1. Archetype has their own way of doing things. But they're really quite fair in doing their things. And this is FUD. Their vendor bond has always been around 650,-. They didn't increase it.
2. You can just talk to them and put all your products in a few pictures. Again, they're open to reason. Metadata on pictures, you know there's an inbuild tool on TailsOS that can remove metadata? And you have never uploaded photos of your ads on any market before?
3. I think it's a clash of cultures. You're American and Archetype is a European market with European staff. I've had the same issues with American before, they conflate honesty and rudeness. If u don't like it, you can just fuck off with your FUD about ASAP.
4. I don't know about this issue. What's the minimum amount of days before buyers can finalize their order? What about digital orders?
5. Now you're just being petty. It's a very short questionaire. It took you more time to make this post than to fill in the questions. You rather waste your time in righteuous indignation, huh American Karen?
Love,
KS
2. 100 products dude
3. Im UK , as it says in my username
4. No idea but the question is how much total balance sits in Archetypes bank at anyone time. Once it hits £10M they will be off folks
5. I dont want to join it, due to its MASSIVE RED FLAGS i previuosly stated
