I just bought some ‘premium’ bud and it was brown, old, no smell with seeds in it. Buyer beware.

Not enough is done to sort out vendors who don’t accurately describe their gear.

Rating are not meant to be for how stoned or high you got. It’s meant to be a how close to the description it is, the stealth and service. For example if a vendor says they have C grade weed and price accordingly then why would you mark down. Likewise if you got B grade when it was described as A grade, would you give them higher marks than the accurately described C grade?

Thats a fair point but im talking more about when its described as premium, A+++, top indoor, top shelve. Ive never bought b grade or any lower level. More about when its described as something great 10/10 or import but actually a average uk and at times below average, yet you see people rating 10 just because they received it on time??? Makes no sense sorry. Paying such premium for a "premium" product and receiving nothing such but yet still giving a 10 or a 9.

Agreed:) That’s what I mean;) if it’s described as premium or AAAAA and it’s not , then that’s bad and should be marked down accordingly.

Never bought anything before on here but good to know

If a vendor has described a product correctly, priced it accordingly and gone to the risk of posting it to you safely them not giving him a 10/10 just seems like you're trying to make some kind of statement.

On TripAdvisor a 7 or 8 out of 10 might not be bad, but on here it's basically a dog shit score, for right or wrong.

The rating system on here definitely isn't perfect by any means, but it is what it is and marking vendors down for no other reason than you don't agree with LB's setup, is detrimental to a vendors business and achieves nothing.

Unless everyone starts to change how they rate on here, or LB changes the system.... it just is what it is.

Cheers BB

Feeling this today, thanks for the post.

MM.

Aw man, I had no idea this was how the rating system worked.

I feel like maybe this should be explained when you're entering your rating.

Just gone back through my orders and edited accordingly! xx

I'm still waiting for my first sale, lol

I've thought before it would be nice to be able to rate the vendor/service and the product separately for each order.

Comprehensive reviews are like food blog recipes. Wade through a ton of crap to get to what you want to know.

Did what you get match what was described? was it quick? did the postie say "stinks like weed this" as he gave it you? would you buy it again?

Save your attempts at becoming a weed blogger for a special post if you think it warrants it, good or bad. Unless I know you and respect your knowledge and background it's clutter. The amount of nonsense seen on reddit then spouted on here like it's gospel is unreal.

"I really enjoyed the hash/bud but the ash was grey so it was sprayed"

And that's without getting to …
"aaargh where's my order I've waited three days WITH NO COMMS" dude, it's Monday you ordered Friday just chill.

There used to be a few people who would buy and rate on their pages with in depth reviews so you can figure out if you think the reviewer is worth your read. Seems to have fallen out of favour.

I agree there’s a lot of bad weed on here but you will figure out who to and not to buy of :) can highly reccomend smoggyman, Bonneville, Canadian imports, urban leaf company and had some very good quality shake of NugNinjaZ I find the smaller vendors tend to have the best quality bud :) don’t no why the. Advice is always to go with big well known vendors that I personally find very hit and miss. Rating system on here is fucked and pretty unhelpful to both customers and vendors. Say a larger vendor with loads of products may not try them all and there for how are they supposed to no it’s not gone down well?

definitely not a stoned thought

The reviews ratings and comments helped me scout out the right people etc ✌️ and these people haven't disappointed me yet respect. I dunno why this would be a problem unless your trying to mess people over or selling bad stuff just saying :)

There should be no government between people and crypto. Otherwise whats the point

I know, poor dumb sheeple. They are fcking up a lot of freedoms for us that are freedom loving and cognitively able!

its almost impossible to buy without KYC though, what choice do we have?

It's possible but a pain in the ass for small amounts. Bitcoin atms and decentralized exchanges like bisq do the trick.

Pied Piper made real.

fuck hooli!

There seems to be some confusion here, please accept our responsibility and apology for this.

We generally do not take seller terms into account, instead we base resolution on the reputation of each party.

Thanks for clarifying,
Can I ask
why include terms and conditions on the sellers part then?
As my conditions clearly state I don't offer reship or refunds. My buyers are aware of this.

We don't know what the field is for but there are terms other than refunds and those would not conflict with escrow claims.

For instance you could say buyers must be from a same day delivery area to expect same day delivery. This would set an expectation and save a lot of misunderstanding for everyone.

This kind of expectation would not be in conflict with the reality that claims we process are based on reputation, not a sellers refund policy.

Thanks for the the reply, I just got a 3g reship after 7g went missing. Thankfully the order is till sitting there, so we'll see how good my reputation is. I was just going with the 'I won't be ordering off then any more'

Only issue I’ve ever had was similar. 3G reship for a 10g order. Escrow paid 50% on top. Hope you get something similar.

Leaves the problem that disputes don’t show how it went and show unfavourably against the buyer, like 20%disputed on my profile and 0% on the sellers even though he was found against.

Good luck.

Escrow is great, sorted a no show from blame Canada and got a full resend and made up the difference for something that went missing over bitcoin growing about 3-fold.

I was sort of happy with 50% resend but can see how it can be abused by a vendor. Most I've used are really good and above board. The crazy prices reflect the fact you're not getting stung every other purchase... the possibility of refunds for good buyers is a testament to the system.

I haven't had to use Escrow yet after many orders but I've always used special delivery post to avoid as many issues and conflicts as possible.

How to create a dispute ?

Surely you miss understand the concept of Terms and Conditions?

Each vendor has there own terms and conditions of service.

Some offer a full reship, some offer 50%, some don't offer any reships.

If the vendor clearly states any of these terms. It removes escrow terms for a full refund!

I would highly suggest you read any terms or conditions set out by each vendor

I've never been a dark web vendor, nor will I ever be!

What utter shit information to give

Nope, escrow overrides those terms.

It actually doesn't. I am proof, thank you

They can choose to override it if there becomes alot of issues due to your terms.

Please educate yourself guys

I would love to be educated UK 420...

I have clearly in my T&C's that I would be contacted before a dispute or negative rating and in my first week I was trolled and marked a 1/10.... The messed up thing is this troll thought I was another user and broke my conditions. However admin for Little Biggy have let it stand... Really frustrating as a new vendor.

Yeah sorry dude, you will need to ride that review out based on how the LB system works. It can be really hard for a new vendor to get established on here and there does occasionally seem to be shenanigans regarding review bombing ongoing on the site for ages now. Oh and 420 is wrong escrow overrides all terms based on vendor and purchaser rep

Not saying what you have stated doesn't make sense uk420, however, escrow will always override your terms and they will decide the refund amount for the dispute based on the reputation of the parties involved....

that's easy, charlie 2na

Unfair comment really as all businesses have different situations and end games we know nothing about. It also kind of denigrates any vendor who felt the need to shut up shop for just a few days to suit their own circumstances.

lets not praise the strong because the weak might be offended.

I'll be sure to remind the next self employed person I meet that wanting to actually get paid for the work they do is a sign of weakness. Makes perfect sense that.

Cheers BB

Just an observation,but if I told my suppliers,back in the day,that "lm really sorry,but the money I owe you is tied up with these other people,but I can possibly pay you some time soon" I'd have my hands broken.
Dumb and ugly to throw down on anyone who was forced to shut down.

I had a bricky round yesterday to quote me for re-pointing my chimney. It's probably only half a days work but we agreed on £150 cash because it's a risky job getting up there.

After reading all these insightful comments on this thread i've decided i'm not going to pay him.

Instead, when he knocks on the door at the end of the job and asks for the agreed amount of money for the work he's done, i'm going to play some Kanye West, put my hand on his shoulder, look him straight in the eyes and say;

"listen mate, i'm not going to pay you now, you just need to be a bit stronger"

I'll let you know how that one pans out....

Cheers. BB

to continue your analogy i reckon this bricky has worked with you already, he sees the bank is closed and he does his fucking job rather than leaving it like a bitch.

Tell him you can't pay him because of a fire in China and watch his laughter as he knocks your chimney down. Takes him twice as long though, because he's a fucking good builder :)

Makes sense.
I messaged admin. They sent me a link to the pool. Which I could see for myself was jammed.
That was all the confirmation I needed, and was happy to carry on working.


GF

Totally understand your position buddy but I think the point was to try and push for Litecoin rather than a genuine fear of not being paid in the long run.

Not sure how much further we're getting with the introduction of another currency on here but its long overdue for everyone's benefit, customers and vendors.

Hope you're well and all the best.

Cheers BB

Hahaha! Beautiful analogy.

Vendors with dependents and families...

This ^ 100% childish comments and posts help no one.

thank you, we never doubted the LB admins for a moment over here.

when the pressure is on character really shows

Theyve been through a lot of profit too, bitcoin has skyrocketed and the losses don't compare to the gains.

It's only profit when you've been paid. P.S. really hope no vendor's ended up in a sticky situation with their supplies whilst waiting for money from lb.

Hindsight is 20/20.

big bigg up

lol what an idiot. Vendors started shutting up shop when several of em noticed payments were bouncing. On top of that within 48 hours of a few of us shutting up payments started coming in and much smaller than before. Easy to chat shit when you don't have any skin in the game,

Nail on the head!

Half these vendors here grow there own shit so don't feel any losses when things like this happen.

Vendors who outsource items, who pay set prices, these are the ones feelling it. Not these home growers lol.

I lost loads of profit margins due to the sheer drop in bitcoin value while waiting patiently for my bitcoin so I could cash it out before any more losses or even exchange to a stable coin.

Seems to be moving at last... my outstanding payments have landed

The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

oh yes!! love it!!

Well once I was listening to Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and had a revelation. I'd never really thought about what he meant in the song and assumed that the 'seed' references were ganja references. But it hit me that the seeds he was referring to were actually his ideas and messages.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say

I think it was his way for him to say that the Establishment was trying to silence him.

Add a few small sprigs of thyme. Roast for 1hr 45mins on 190c. Add the pre boiled potatoes when there is an hour left and baste with the chicken fat/oils in the oven tray.
