If it was a coordinated smear campaign it would probably look way worse… So I doubt it.So I was considering buying from this vendor a couple of weeks ago, but decided against it after seeing this post from Zippity.

I have continued to dig and while I still don’t have all the facts (and never will) I’ve seen enough red flags to see there is some real merit to the various complaints people have made here and elsewhere. I have continued to watch from the sidelines and I am frankly very disappointed with the accusations that there is a coordinated smear campaign going on. Those that think there is a smear campaign going on do you think that Zippity is in on it too?
Keep in mind the grey market peptide world is basically the Wild West right now and there are a lot of questionable characters out there looking to take advantage of desperate people, and in that type of environment trust should inherently be low. Vendors are not your friends and it is my opinion that communities like this one should focus on protecting the people buying from them over protecting the vendors business interests. That should mean creating an environment where all members are encouraged to raise any and all red flags they see (even if they don’t have complete information yet, or can’t share due to bs rules from other boards) and not be written off as creating unnecessary drama, or worse be accused of some conspiracy. If someone has seen some red flags from a vendor, we should welcome and encourage them to bring it up here to inform the community, because sharing may well prevent those that are less experienced from getting scammed or from buying unsafe products. It is my opinion that boards like this one should be hard on vendors, especially new vendors. The bar should be high if we are going to trust a vendor, and it should be the vendors burden to prove themselves
I would however love to see a seller feedback section. Where posts can not be edited, and buyers are only allowed to post ONE well structured review (which can of course be updated in a later reply, but again in a structured and thorough manner).
It becomes quite messy as soon as 3-4+ users are bashing a vendor in short form messages while the vendor tries to respond, only to be overrun by multiple short replies.
It makes it hard to properly evaluate the situation for the reader, and I’d argue it’s unfortunate both for the vendor and for the users. And quickly just spirals into a “he said she said” where people start piling on with opinions/assumptions and second hand information from random sources.
It’s definitely important for information to be available, but it should at the very least be structured, and preferably have some kind of “proof”. Though supplying any kind of definite evidence is close to impossible in a dispute like this, for both parties
