paypal just took me for $400

Thank you for the info - there's a lot of complaining noise on here around a few vendors, so it's sometimes difficult to determine if people just had problems like slow delivery, bad comms, or got completely fucked by a particular vendor.

(Also the OP just seems to have done it wrong by not putting an abstraction between Paypal and the vendor.)

I suggest finding information on other platforms like discord and Peppys. You're not going to get a bigger picture view of things if you're only staying here.

And yes, that abstraction you mentioned is a self-custodial wallet. It's a wallet that isn't beholden to an exchange like PayPal, Cashapp, Kraken or Strike.

People can do what they choose with their money but I find the idea of not purchasing peptides from SRY because a different arm of the company created opioids to be a little virtue signal-esque. Johnson and Johnson used to produce opioids, does that mean you'll never use Tylenol again? If you think there's a personal risk involved then sure don't buy but I think this whole PR nightmare has made SRY customer service better and the products cheaper.

Yeah OP's problem isn't unique to SRY. But I don't know of any vendor that is bad mouthed around here for not a good reason.

Everyone has their own moral line. But legally producing a drug that has real legitimate use and was abused is not the same thing as illegally selling that drug on the black market.

Not to mention the synthetic opioid in SRY indictment has no legitimate medical use - it's only use is to cut drugs which kill americans.

Agreed. Would I avoid SRY because of what they appear to have done? I'm not sure. But I have no problem understanding why someone would avoid them. These synthetic opiates are killing more people than other illegal drugs have killed Americans in the past.

I think you make a good point that there absolutely is a difference. One is legal and one is illegal and those that draw their moral line between legal distribution of opioids and illegal should rightfully stay away from SRY. My concern is that many are conflating the difference between legal and illegal with the actual harm caused. Illegal distribution of these opioids will absolutely harm people, but those who access them are likely already addicted and will get their hands on it one way or another, SRY or not. On the other hand legal distribution in my view causes much more harm as it's introducing otherwise unknowing people into potential opioid addictions. It's unfair to say that just because it's legal it is less harmful when there is reason to believe that's not the case.

Most people who buy illegal drugs in the US don't want fentanyl or some other synthetic opioid cut in their drugs, so the notion that they will buy opioids elsewhere is flawed.

I really don't understand your angle here. "Drugs addicts are drug addicts so who cares if they get sold something that will kill them, since it's already illegal and they're already addicted"?
That's a scary perspective.

The opioid epidemic is well known and the prescription of these drugs has dried up considerably. So when they can't access (safer) legal opioids, whether prescribed or purchased from a dealer, addicted persons end up turning to the black market. Guess what's there? Fentanyl made with ingredients like SRY is selling.

Your reasoning leads me to believe that you haven't encountered drug addiction first or second hand. Harm reduction is the name of the game with addicts, and being flippant about anyone that sells fent ingredients is the opposite of harm reduction.
