SR would have to be brain dead not to realize that this is an issue. As maxwellhansen, one has to purchase a token to become a seller which are quite expensive. Furthermore, there is a limited number of tokens and the only way to get a token is to buy it from someone (who will then lose said token). Therefore it is pretty hard to become a seller.
this is incorrect, the site does require you purchase a vendor account but this is from the site admin and not from another user. to become a seller/vendor on the site you just need money, about $500 USD I believe.
There is no requirement besides money? Seems like there should be some other act which law enforcement would not want to perform, but which a legitimate seller would.
no, if law enforcement paid for an account they could operate however as a new seller they would need to prove themselves by sending out product, something I am sure they could do but probably would not want to get involved in sending out grams of cocaine or heroin for 6 months just to build up a database of people who are buying a gram of drugs for personal use. There is no way to translate a seller account into information regarding the site or other sellers, therefore for law enforcement it is a waste of time and resources.
