I think i was robbed. : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

So let's say i placed a small order, on a reputable vendor's personal store. I made the payment after asking some questions about delivery, he answered he could fulfill my delivery request, but then after having everything prepared he came to the conclusion he couldn't deliver how i wanted, and promised a refund. Days started passing, and no monero was refunded to my wallet. We talked about it, he told me everything was working on his end, i had to be patient. Supposedly the refund was issued on 11/07/2025. Asked for txID and txProof on 16/07/2025 and got no more answers on his behalf. Today is 22/07/2025 and no funds were refunded to my wallet yet. As i said, this is a reputable vendor, acclaimed by the community.

Is there anything i can do?

Best Regards,
SirPent

Use a market and stay in escrow next time. At this point all you can do is leave a review in /d/reviews about the situation.

another one. like whats is happening t all those reputable vendor
Since this is a vendor's private store, it's a direct deal and unfortunately doesn't have the same coverage as the markets.

If a refund was issued, he would need to personally refund the order, which should be instant. Giving the vendor the benefit of the doubt on the first part, real-life problems can occur, which could lead to no responses and your message getting buried if others are experiencing the same issue as you

Do they operate on the markets as well? If so, check if reviews are coming in or if they are active on Dread and send them a message.

Sometimes things can get missed, but it seems you have been very patient, and a conclusion is needed. Unfortunately, being a private vendor site you are pretty much at the mercy of the vendor. I would try to reach out via the markets or dread as well to get their attention.

Do some research around dread to see if you can find others that are experiencing the same problem if you do not want to name drop yet. Your only real power in this situation is leaving a review to hopefully get their attention.

Hope you have a positive outcome, best of luck to you <3

Did you sync your wallet and checked it ?
I’m sure he has, but this actually does get overlooked a lot. People just blindly check their wallet without noticing they need to sit through 10k+ blocks, haha.

Yes bro
That is why I asked him to double check
Yeah, it gets overlooked more often than you think. I get quite a few messages of people who are having trouble sending crypto to markets. It's always the wallet isn't synced :P

How much is the actual refund

Sent him a message. Not a huge amount, but still worth trying to get it back, at least for me.

Umm, name the vendor? You asked, I answered.
Be prepared to have proof though or people will just say your no being truthful.

I'm trying to do things the best way possible for everybody. No need to name anyone if things get sorted out. At least, yet.

6 days without giving you the refund # is enough for me.
But hey, you do you.

Charge it to the game, use escrow, and protect yourself in the future. Should share vendors name as well if they are refusing to honor the trade but not much else you can do at this point.

I will share it, in time, including every proof I have. I'm giving them the chance to do things right, already sent them a link to this post trough direct message here on dread. It's their call, i'm just giving them some more time.

They started advertising more since they got their own shop i think. But they have a solid reputation in the markets plus they have plenty of great reviews and seem to be highly respected.

i was just curious because that seems to be what screwed you over he said he could deliver then you paid him and then he said he couldn't deliver the way you wanted and never sent your refund ? just curious to what kind of delivery request you where asking for is all, its not really relevant. maybe refund will come ?

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. It’s frustrating when a buyer has to deal with such issues. This is exactly why markets exist, to facilitate smooth transactions and protect buyers. When sellers have too much control, it can leave buyers vulnerable, and unfortunately not all dealers are friendly. While some are great, many are just assholes, remember they sell drugs. But give him some time. To next time I recommend using a marketplace.

Share your experience by posting a review in /d/Reviews. It can help others.
