Good advice. The long serving vendors have always been really good to me in my time here, no messing about, well earned reputations going back over several yrs with products to back it up.

These new vendors need to earn customer trust, so far none of them have done anything to earn it whatsoever, messing ppl about all the time. Saw one case where vendor saying they didnt realise how escrow and money release worked ffs 😖 wtf

so I will continue to stick to the OG good guys. Absolutely not touching any of these newbys with a barge pole and hope nobody else does either tbqh. Praise be for escrow and the dispute system - mind you some of these ‘new’ vendors do seem to know how this works by getting customers to delay their disputes and all other avoidance tactics.
