To start I'd like to say hats off and hands in the air applause to the designers and brains behind Silk Road and Black Market but that's about where the similarities stop and the frustrating differences begin. For the most part s.r has run smoothly with 98% of my purchases but with b.m.r I have only received 1% of my orders. For more information on how to use these sites look at my earlier posts on silk road or black market.
First you need to understand some lingo.
Bit coins -A decentralized digital currency created in 2009
FE means finalize early so when your finalize early you are giving the person your bit coins before you get the product for many different reasons such as you are a new customer and they don't trust you, it's just their policy even though silk road's policy is to not allow that and some do it to just steal your money because they are scammers. So basically finalize means you gave them the bit coins to the person you bought from because you received the product and finalize early means you gave the money before you got the product.
L.L which means love letter or customs holding letter. So if your package gets taken by customs they will send you a L.L to say they stole your stuff from you.
So now into the differences that matter.
Silk road had a really great rating system that lets you rate sellers from 1 to 5 and then also allows you to go back and edit that for reasons such as they got you to f.e early because you were a new customer but you have to leave feedback and a rating after your finalize but when you get the product or don't get the product you can go back and edit your rating and feed back helping others not get scammed. Black Market Reloaded doesn't allow you to go back and reedit your comments on a purchases that you do with someone or even let you give a rating. So if you are new and someone makes your f.e early but then scams you for your bit coins they you can go back on silk road and lower their rating and leave a nasty feedback but not on black market, you are screwed.
I am still new in some terms to these sites, been on them for about 5 months now but to my conclusion would be to not even bother with black market reloaded and stick with silk road. 98% of the people on silk road are honest business people but on black market it seems that 99% are scammers trying to steal your bit coins. One other thing to watch out for is the scammers will use the same names on both b.m.r and s.r so they can be scamming on both sites at the same time.
I wrote the people who are running black market reloaded with my concerns and here is the conversation we had:
2012-12-20 16:46 Me:
"Hey,
Not sure the process to report being scammed but I made a purchase for two
weapons from jitters for 300$ and never received them,its been almost a month
since i made the order and he has cut off communication with me about a week
ago. He asked me to fe early due to me being a new customer, i have been a
customer on silk road for a very long time now and realized that yes i am now
and untrusted yet but i never got ripped off on silk road when i started and
f.e.ed early."
They never responded so i wrote them again.
2012-12-27 04:07 Me:
"I am beginning to get very concerned, I have made 7 orders and not one from this
site has come through but 12 from silkroad have came through during that time. I
write a very well read blog about under ground sites such as this and if
something does change soon I am going to have to write the truth that this site
really is a complete hoax"
They Finally responded under the name backopy at 2012-12-27 05:39
"Sorry to know that, but BMR isn't any sort of hoax, you either just came across
a bad seller or are really out of luck. BMR's sellers are in no way associated
with BMR, no more than eBay or any other side of the sort. Stick to escrow to
stay safe, don't byte excuses about btc price, escrow to be unreleased and so
on, that's usually the mark of a scam."
I still haven't received any of my orders from any of my B.M.R orders except from
BullionKillstheBanksters. Untrustworthy site overall.
I will update as I know more and will have a list of all the scammers that I have come across on this blog so feel free to comment on people that have scammed your with what they have done or people that are great to do business with,the real champions.
