Buyer leaves a 1 star review because support admin took 2 months to resolve a dispute... support says they won't change it... : AlphaBay | Torhoo darknet markets

So this buyer opens a dispute with me. Totally warranted. Product hadn't been shipped for reasons and I quickly accepted his request for a 100% refund of the order. And due to how AB's dispute system works, an admin has to view the dispute and process the refund. And it took them 2 whole entire fucking months to do it. So the buyer is naturally upset about this. All along I had assured him he was gonna get paid, one way or another, and I even offered to pay what he lost in market volatility while we waited. But 2 whole months go by and he's finally refunded. And so naturally this brainlet buyer decides that I deserve 1 star across the board. For something the Admin did. Jesus fucking christ these people vote....ViceCity_Login_oT7QYMSt8Cs8L9iZEoMmIxEKedNMms

"Walt never sent product since he quit vending (again) while my order was in processing (after he accepted it). Escrow was held up in AB for two+ months. Walt said he would refund but when he came back to vending (again) he didn't hold up his word, nor ever sent product. Terrible experience.


I couldn't send him the product because I had already agreed to the refund. Had I done so, I would've been out for double the cost of the order.

I have no doubt in my mind, had the issue been resolved in a timely manner, the buyer would've moved on and not left a review at all.

This is on you guys. Please fix your mistake. This is clearly a false review and any market worth a damn removes those. Vice City mods removed a somewhat similar review (fake) for me. It's a thing.

I don't know what pisses me off more. The fact that I'm being blamed, and my business will suffer, because of something that's not my fault. Or the fact that someone as stupid as this fucking buyer even exists.

I know I sound like a whiny bitch in this post, and that's because I am a whiny bitch. Getting a negative review for something you did do is one thing, but for something you had no control over (this, customer ordering on christmas day and upset it's not there by the time brunch is over and the presents are being opened)... it makes me irrationally angry.

Also, what is up with the rating system? I have 3 negative reviews out of 117 total (all shipping related surrounding 1 event. none about the actual product, it's great). Yet my overall scores are "4.6, 4.66.4.61,). But when you do 3 divided by 117, you get 2.5%, yet my overall score is 94% not 97.5%. And 97.5% of 500 is 487.5, so my overall rating should be 4.88.

Anyway, pretty sick guys. Appreciate it.

If that is the case we will change it as well as compensate the buyer additionally.

For the rating system - it is getting a small update in the algorithm in the next 48 hours so it might fix what you describe. Also do note that the rating is for the last 12 months only.

Thank you.

I have been patiently holding my tongue for almost a month now. I have been waiting to receive my missing 39.4XMR since Nov.4 due to a withdraw issue on AB and the ticket has been with you almost as long. But now it appears you are working on other projects instead of spending 100% of your time returning missing funds to same vendors who make AB a shit ton of money. Returning missing vendor funds should be the highest priority and in my opinion no new features or enhancements should take place until this has been resolved. You also mentioned that TheCypriot would be giving elevated privileges so that he could help return vendors missing funds so the process would be faster. Did this not happen?

I am becoming more frustrated each day that goes by because those missing funds are very important to my business since I am a small time vendor.

Please understand I love and support AB and I love being a Vendor on the platform. I am a trusted MOD on the CafeDread sub-dread and I have respect for other MODS and I am not trying to stir up trouble. I just really need my missing funds back ASAP.

Wait, you're back? I thought you were supposed to be a dead FBI informant super-undercover-cop darknet destroying multi billion dolllar exit scammer? Or did Dread get that one wrong too?

Welcome back and thank you I appreciate it. I will gladly take down this post once it is resolved (not blackmail, just saying).

/u/DeSnake come back bro. You are forgiven for the exit scam. Fuck all those people anyway. Just come back. You are very missed in the community. If Dread mods hated you, your account would've been banned. Obviously your account is still up for a reason.

You are truly loved and missed.
