I really can't agree with u cleanup borg ... either the dispute algorithm works or not .. showing raised disputes that have been paid 100% in my favour (dispute algorithm) .. often against what turns out to be a fraud suspected vendor .. how will that benefit a vendor seeing I have 1.4% disputes instead of the previous 0 .. so the vendor now's sees what could be mistaken for a buyer who tries it on with disputes and not an honest buyer who was occasionally ripped off by an unscrupulous vendor 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

i cant seem to comment on the main post for some reason lol.

i have had nightmares with disputes. i got hit with wave after wave of scammers all from the same area and all sharing some other common patterns last summer. zero support from LB.

Also had issues at my end with post not going out last year too but managed to fix the issue. losts of disputes but all resolved in that case.

however i dont know if you know this but LB sometimes pays out the dispute even if you appear to have won. in that case Transaxe holds a debt against your name and can increase fees to recoup the decision they made whenever they like.

in the last 6 months i have only had one dispute and that was from someone that didnt know what to do when i didnt respond to their message for longer than 2 hours. minor issue and instantly fixed.

the other issue is buyers raising disputes and then dissapearing. vendor money locked up and dispute window closes with ignored messages from LB


a refund option would be good too for once a parcel has been sent but that doesnt seem to be in the roadmap. ive even been advised to let a dipute time out in order to refund and still recieved a bad mark.

i love LB but there is definitly room to improve.

What a joke we've gone above and beyond to hold zero disputes in 5+ years and this does nothing beneficial again your neglecting your responsibilities if a buyer is consistently raising disputes and evading public scrutiny their page should be marked with "fraud suspected" as you have done in the past, instead buyers and sellers that pride themselves on a clean dispute record have just been told tough luck because your too lazy to catch people abusing your already flawed system once again massive failure by the borgs at LB and we hope you will revert this horrible decision.

agreed.

Also it now shows 0.1% at the top of our page and 0% at the bottom this update does nothing beneficial its just a confusing mess admit you missed the mark with this one and please listen to all of us this is clearly an unpopular change you just need to read every response to your post.

shouldn't it be on disputes finalised....

How would that solve the problem they are describing? Make a dispute to shake down a seller, get your reward and cancel the dispute. Rinse and repeat basically.

Absolutely. Only if a refund is made by the system.

Rogue buyers open endless new accounts over which there is no restriction. They really do not have to care about their dispute percentage as these are throwaway accounts. You recently posted that you would penalise any vendors who refused to deal with new accounts. I understand that the algorithm may not pay out fully to a new buyer, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get paid.

The very best Biggas i.e. those with the most buys will statistically end up with more disputes simply because they buy the most product or are you actively trying to dissuade them from using a system that has significant value and is there to protect them? Either that or they are penalised for trying new vendors where the risk is higher. Why would you want to make your best customers look worse?

Please think again, Queen of the Borgs

I agree with many of the comments here that the borgs missed the mark with this update and have got it wrong. I'm personally frustrated that after excellent conduct for years that now I have a dispute rating for a resolved dispute over Xmas where a seller didn't send the parcel nor respond to messages. The dispute was resolved between the seller and me and the system at the time assured us that no black mark was made on reputations. I'm sure many people will now have disputes showing. This doesn't appear to help anyone.

I have to agree with the others it's makes attacks on vendors much easier. It takes long time and hard work to build a shop but anyone can create countless buyer accounts to use and burn.

Wouldn't that problem have existed already? Only now they lose the leverage of controlling the dispute redecoration.

Partially, but now the seller gets the bad points even if they resolved every single dispute. Loosing both money (in case of refund/replacement) and now also loosing reputation.

What about if the seller has obviously left the website? I offer the current example of NFUSED. This seller has disappeared with multiple orders undelivered. His current dispute rate on current orders is 6.8% but still does not have a fraud warning on the account. Because he has behaved in such a manner, anyone who wants their fraudulently taken money back, has to take a reputational hit. How can that be fair and equal?

Fair enough, but this just means its best to stick to established vendors from here on out.

If a customer raises a dispute by accident, then resolves it. The seller is now punished. They have a higher dispute count on the profile.

Higher dispute count % is bad for sellers.

But the buyer would be punished too and the dispute count is going to be proportionally even higher for a buyer.

There are a lot more buyers than there are sellers. Punishment % total for seller is higher.

this still doesn’t explain the discrepancies between the dispute percentage shown on a profile versus the reviews

understand the points made as some DNMs follow the method of showing

Total Disputes
Disputes Won and Lost

but as of present this is just a tiny tweak that will cause confusion in my view, I may be wrong

There are no disputes won and lost.

Thanks for the feedback loves, we are going to have another, much more complete go at this.

Please do note this is already resulting in a decrease in dispute blackmail, something you honest biggaz are happily blind to and the primary motivation for the change in display.

Again, all knickers should remain wrinkle-free in the meantime, the change effects everyone and your operative reputation remains intact.

So can we get a straight answer will those with a perfect 0% score see that restored?

Most may be blind to a small amount of users using dispute blackmail but as we stated that is your job to police, the solution is not to punish every user by tarnishing their score to stop bad actors, you have a "fraud suspected" label so log in more frequently and start labelling bad actors accordingly that is the only way to have a complete go at this, LB lost a lot of users when you decided it was best to have an algorithmic dispute resolution instead of someone manually reviewing every case and I'm guessing this "update" has done the same as the next day you had a user asking how to close their account on your page. If you don't want to log in as much and do your job maybe hire another borg because these soulless "updates" are what's ruining the site, guaranteed if you revert the dispute scores to the old way announce your going to be manually reviewing all disputes instead of a stupid algorithm and you'll see the positivity in the comments or continue with a more complete version when there is already so much upset and confusion with the first change....

Thanks for acknowledging it's not gone perfectly. Could new users not be on a probationary account level or something? Something that'd limit any damage they could do? Would that work?

Mine says 0.1% but I don’t know which one it is, as nobody has messaged me to say anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can always use places like localcoinswap. Just make sure you vet the reviews first and from there you can send the crypto from the wallet into your local wallet as an example so it's not held on some exchange or anything for you to get it locked or lost.

It's all done through escrow so it gives you slight peace of mind, only problem right now is that you would be required to use a VPN as the laws in UK changed and they temp blocked it.

Alternatively you can view others on kycnot(dooot)me

Bittylicious seems like a good choice and I see some other vendors have also said the same.

Thanks,

Bittylicious don't require additional information until 2027. Send to a non-KYC wallet like Exodus.

I use Exodus too; most banks have been fine with this wallet.

Hope you resolve it.

Firstly, Monzo does allow most crypto payments in my experience. But if you're looking for a new place to buy crypto i used Exodus and you can buy BTC from there via MoonPay (Monzo allows) or Blockchain.

So get a wallet with Exodus and give that a shot!

Grab a wallet like blue wallet and then use any ramp services. Cheapest way I believe.

i already have a wallet[s], just need a website that will let me trade GBP for BTC without blocking it.

Look into ramp crypto

There are a few different methods.

This is how I transfer fiat to crypto.

I bank with one of the big 4

Transfer fiat to a Revolut account

Purchase USDT on Binance using Revolut card, don't use Revolut exchange.

Then either transfer to Exodus before sending to vendor or send direct to vendor from spot wallet in Binance.

There will be other methods, probably better, but I have never had an issue.

Hope this helps

i was hoping for fewer steps than this, but thanks for the advice. Also, binance stopped accepting new uk customers so...Revolut does sound smart though.

I didn't know this. It seems they stopped taking new customers way back in 2023.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do what we wanted with our money...

I've always used Bitpanda simply sending btc direct to LB. Never had an issue.

Thanks! signed up for Bitpanda but have to wait for a "24 hr cooldown period" thanks to nanny state. Hoping that will do the trick tomorrow.

Weekends and late night/early hours are the lowest fee periods.

Variable depending upon traffic on the block chain. I usually pay about £2 on a £50 send.

How do we send via bitpanda app direct lp

In Transfers: click on Send.
Next to 'Name, host or wallet' click on +
Select: 'The wallet belongs to me'.
Select: 'Self-hosted wallet'.
Paste in LB wallet address.
Click Save wallet.
Transfer BTC
(Only use this wallet once as LB generates a new address for every order).

The best one I’ve ever used and have used for the past 4 years is MovieBoxPro.

Around 20GBP a year, and has every movie/shows.

If you want an invite code dm me.

Stremio + Torrentio, have a look at guides. You'll need a debrid account though which is about €16/6 months.

Want to watch Jimmy grumble haha
