Hello everyone,
I want to address this matter openly and honestly.
I am aware of the dispute and take full responsibility for communicating my situation. I made two separate attempts to send the refund to the client, but unfortunately both of the accounts I tried to use were restricted before the transactions could be completed.
I spoke directly with the client, explained everything transparently, and we reached an understanding. I committed to refunding the full amount as soon as I have sufficient funds available and I fully intend to honor that commitment.
This situation has genuinely been heartbreaking for me. My reputation on XmrBazaar means a great deal and I've always tried to be a trustworthy and reliable trader. The trust of this community is something I value deeply and it pains me that this incident has affected that trust.
I sincerely ask the admins and the community to consider my history and give me the opportunity to make this right. I understand that any decision made is ultimately at the discretion of the administration and I will respect whatever decision is reached.

Thank you for taking the time to read my statement.

Sometimes things like this happen, but the fact that your accounts were blocked is not the customer’s problem—it’s your problem. The customer fulfilled their part of the obligation: they sent you the money. Even so, I think there is still a way out of this situation. In my opinion, appropriate compensation would be a refund of XMR to the customer with a 10% extra amount for the delay. I’m completely disregarding the fact that your profile is entirely falsified using fake reviews and an unnatural amount of upvotes on your offers, and in my view you’re a scammer who will do an exit scam the next time the customer sends you 1000 Euros via direct transfer mode. In my opinion, EuroNova should have bond insurance and refund XMR with 10% extra amount to cyborgx1337 to justify this.

If you do not have sufficient funds to conduct your operations, a bond or escrow-only requirement is warranted in your case. Please refer to: https://xmrbazaar.com/forum/topic/294/

A warning placeholder will be added to your account until you refund your customer and fulfil one of the following two options: either obtain a bond, or change ALL your offers to multisig escrow only.

XmrBazaar, you continue to make a joke out of yourselves, and somehow you seem to be promoting the scammers, pardon me for using a very fresh account, but this is to avoid being targeted I will give a few examples

How are the following people best sellers
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/snex/ --- only 4 completed trades
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/USAGI/---only 16 completed trades
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/SoulReaver/---only 2 completed trades
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/MiCocco/---only 3 completed trades

I wont keep searching coz I'm sure there are plenty more, are these people bribing you to make them top sellers ? Because it clearly defies logic how you have given this badge, which will lead to newcomers trusting the above accounts on the basis of your badges. How easy will it be for them to plan exit scams ? You need to be more serious, this is such a joke

Top Seller ≠ highest sales volume.
No public metric will ever be published: once known, it can be gamed.
But it is based on authenticity (as USAGI correctly noted) and broader reputation (including outside XmrBazaar).

So, someone new comes onto the site, they see someone with 2 trades, and he is called a top seller, and they should just run with it? Why do you even take donations from people if you want to run this site like a dictatorship? Your stupid ego, will unfortunately be your downfall, I hope you are using that 77XMR wisely, because yeah, you do take people for granted

If you want to include stats from outside XmrBazaar, you have to clearly show where the stats are coming from, someone came here and impersonated Camylopez and scammed people, because there was no authentication of any sort. There are thousands of traders with good reputation, and if the reputation is not properly imported, how easy is it for scammers to go and farm for good traders info and come to use it here. And another thing, be open to criticism, denying everything and trying to seem correct is pathetic to say the least. Members have been patient with you. You promised to release the source code if you met donation goal, you did, then went mute on that, you're now probably a bigger scammer than the small fish we see here, because scamming is obtaining financial advantage by deception, and can you say we are wrong when we say you deceived us by coercing us to donate in the hope that we'd be able to contribute to the source code

Says the guy (AnonymousHorse) who ghosted me on a planned meetup after trying to get me to send him some XMR up front. And I'm sorry, but I'm still out ~$650 worth of XMR after I did my damndest to use the escrow system here. I got an escrow backup download and everything.

The criteria for the badge are too low. It is like giving black belt to someone who is 3rd time on training.

I don't think we have reliable metric here to measure who is top seller. If we use sales or reviews count for that purpose then it would favor services that generate a lot of sales/reviews, but they might have low cash volume e.g. one merchant sold 500 telegram accounts getting 500 sales and 500$ profit while another merchant completed 1 year IT project getting 1 sale and 50,000$ profit.

Good metric to measure who have bigger dick would be generated financial volume, but it is too easy to fake, because you can write any amount into inputs without any verification. It would also require different thresholds per sale category which would be pain to develop with this market model.

Best idea that currently comes into my mind would be hand picking top sellers by admin. That would be probably easiest and most reliable for anonymous market,

Also have to be aware that recorded stats may not necessarily paint a full picture.

There are multiple steps to completing a trade, and some people may simply not finish pressing completad trade. If there is no escrow which it seems happens a lot, there may even be no trade stated let alone left hanging.

What if you have to earn the right to have a direct trade, I mean, say you have a bond, like CamyIopez, who has his 5XMR just sitting on XmrBazaar, then people can open a direct trade with you. The rest, escrow must be mandatory, the privilege to get a direct trade must be earned, you'll realise scammers will have it hard if that were the case, and having to create new accounts after a scam won't help. Also, seeing from this thread, AilliaA has been doing a tremendous job, but wouldn't it help to have either Soulreaver or Easterncapybara to assist, I mean, target has been exceeded, so even an extra .5 xmr monthly paid to them shouldn't hurt.

Another example,
You mentioned new users creating listings for buying/selling xmr will have a potential scam warning on their site, unless they pay a bond,

This particular user,

https://xmrbazaar.com/user/LightningMcQueen/

Got the warning, now he's back, warning removed, but there is no update on whether he paid the bond or not. Tbh, I wouldnt care a bit if you hadn't accepted donations from people, but you did. So can you explain why he no longer has the scam warning? And why his listing is available even though he paid no bond? Are you accepting payments under the table ? Are you corrupt? I swear if I were to devote my time to this, I'd write some issue every hour. Be transparent, period

LightningMcQueen no longer has a warning because they agreed to restrict themself to Escrow-only listings (no direct-payment options) for the time being. They can either continue under that restriction or get a bond later if they want to unlock direct-payment listings.

But you are literally going against your own words, you said paying bond was the condition, what if he talks people into trading outside escrow? What scammers want is initiation right ? You yourself, AilliA, stated that the only way for the scam warning to be removed was if bond was paid. If he was a serious enough traders, how can't he afford bond ? Provided it's refundable? Transparency shouldnt be very hard to achieve, but you and Doug are making a mess of it, esp considering you conveniently avoid answering questions about the source code, sorry to say, you may be on a different dimension, but such actions amount to scamming

If the metric will never be published, does that mean you’ll never release the project as open source?

Since the “top seller” feature needs to be in the source code, am I right to assume you won’t publish the code?

And what’s the point of the “top seller” badge now, given that about 95% of people have already received it?

What's up? What problem do you have AnonymousHorse?? And how many different profiles do you created here already ;-)

I got warning because I didn't know about the rules. Now I know - AilliA explained me everything.

We have either use Escrow-only listings or pay bonds or both. I use listing without direct payment (scammers don't do that usually).

Bond no problem I will pay once there will be a good reason to do that e.g. some reasonable customer appears - not yet another dumb scammer just wasting time.

My main account has enough trades to make you green with envy, but I created this account to say what I want to say without fear of being targeted in the future. And I've donated a ton as well, unlike you who can't even pay refundable bond, tbh, my mind is pushing me towards a money under the table scheme, which unfortunately I can't prove

re: "talks people into trading outside escrow"
just don't.
I am and always have been against treating adult people as babies: they have free will and want a free market, so they must accept full p2p responsibility if they want a circular economy without daddy government, corporations, and surveillance/IP logging. You behave as if you want decentralized treatment... but with a central point of reimbursement for other people's failures.
I'm starting to feel that my free-will / free-market mindset is not (or soon won't be) a good fit for this platform. People like me are good for starting things, but (from organizational life-cycle theory) often bad for the maturing stage. I always knew it...

re: source code
tmbk the source code will be published, that part never changed. I'm not the one who makes that decision and/or gatekeeps it in any way: I myself was ready two years ago (even though I really didn't want to deal with the headache, I know exactly what kind of pain it is to manage it, still I created a Librejo account exactly 2 years ago to manage commits back then: "I've just created an account and have already offered Doug my help with the transition to Git, if needed. I'm hopeful that I'll have more time to contribute in August, once my workload from my fiat contract eases up a bit. If the platform uses Tor, I don’t think it will be an issue for Anarkio—Tor is his main requirement.” src: https://matrix.to/#/!sNrxfoVvIjswyJhtXE:monero.social/$o02nH5UWkU0vXe7_IYJsZMkA02Km4cO1mpmi-T6oraY?via=matrix.org&via=monero.social&via=unredacted.org ).
rn I don't have the capacity. SlowBearDigger will prob help with it. Foreseeing the next question: I don't know the timeline, mobile apps are likely his priority atm.

re: "my mind is pushing me towards a money under the table scheme"
lol, I don't need / accept bribes: fiat-wise I'm more than set. Everyone has a price, ofc )) but Monero itself simply doesn't have enough liquidity for me to even consider selling my soul.

...
yeah, I wanted a free market dream...
...but maybe this world and humanity are already too fucked up, with far too many bad actors, past the point of no return for that...

As far as I know, the claim that the source code only had to be published after a donation goal was reached doesn’t hold up here—it wasn’t published then.

The way some people argue that you “need the right license first” feels like an excuse to delay. In my view, you don’t even need to spend time on licensing details right now because the project is already established in the Monero community, and any attempt to clone it would get boycotted.

Also, publishing the source code is basically quick: you can make it public in about ten minutes by pushing it to a repo and setting that repo to public. You don’t even need a programmer to do that.

I second that, since you cannot police the site 24/7, I believe you must make it a privilege to be able to make direct trades, new accounts with 0 trades are an obvious must. That way even if the scammer is going to try and do trades by themselves, they will lose escrow money etc, which they are unlikely to do, set it at maybe 20 trades, before an account can set up direct trades

I do not understand how you got him as a mediator ? I sware the guy had like 175 good review so I let my guard down. And now just after sending the money to the escrow, the profil is now reset.

I thought mediators was being selected but apparently the escrow system is still not worth it.

EDIT: actually he was just impersonating https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Denis_the_Guy
And we didn't complete the escrow since it was not working (neither the real mediator was online and the scammer didn't ever connected to it). He just blame it on escrow technical difficulties, send me a fake screenshot of his escrow showing the address to sent to. I tried to restore the escrow myself to see if the address was correct but couldn't, so thinking of all his reviews just trusted him.
I just had to click on the user icon in chat to see it was a scam. About 3xmr lost. Anyway...

I’ve been through something similar myself; someone had impersonated AilliA. Of course, back then there weren’t any verification icons anything like that on Messenger or banning profiles. It’s not so much the loss that surprises you, but how you fell into this trap. What’s more, he later said he’d changed his mind and, talking about karma, said he wanted to return the money and asked for 3–4 dollars. What sort of scammer would go after 3–4 dollars when they’ve already made off with hundreds of dollars? I wonder if it’s the same people scamming people? Is it just one person, or is it an organisation?

There was 7 security holes, only one is partly corrected (without the legend of the new icons in the messenger, they are useless, how a user should know them?).
It remains 6 vulnerabilities leading always to the same type of scam.

Admins should not manage a website, this site is a joke, giving money to the scammers and blaming the victims for not knowing all the subtleties.

There's even still no link to profiles on https://xmrbazaar.com/search-mediators/
Scammers just have to say "look my nickname is on the list". How users are supposed to compare with the real profile?

Suspend your site, correct your 7 holes, then come back online. Be a minimum responsible.

Damn, I fell victim to them...

Reported User: SoulRaever
Order # and Date: #viL8 2025-08-10
Details: I just fell for too obvious scam. Even called it out, but still donated $85 in USDT. What a damn shame. Should have chosen escrow, but only later I understood, what I have done. Well, I am glad it got banned. Again, what a shame to me to fall for such obvious "too good to be true".

To add info: Here's scammers wallet address USDT TRC20 TRbuEJzVc6fPTv8z9EzaETwsQSvhWoqaGU

Be careful with this person, maybe not a scammer but he will make you do your work for $6-7. I'm sorry that I wanted to write this article for him, it should have taken 3 days to do everything new and new changes. This guy is crazy. Request Escrow (but he keeps saying the amount is small) or take a deposit upfront! He says he lost 10M, but he's trying to scam others for 5 bucks.

Details: I wanted to buy 90 euro but then I was asked to pay additional 300 because of verification, and after that I was asked to send additional 300. Yeah I got scammed bad. I' should have started with bitcoin and not xmr.

You’re not alone İ was scammed a few months ago too. Bitcoin has no ‘scam protection’ feature also. The only way to protect ourselves is through our own measure. The enemy’s method of attack is to exploit our trust and naivety.

made me send him $20 to pay for his travel to get to me for a xmr to cash transaction. After payment, he ghosted. Probably an Indian scammer.

Seconded. That member wasted tons of my time saying he was traveling from boston for a meetup tx, even producing a fake amtrak ticket. tried to get me to send him some "goodwill" xmr, but I've learned never to send anybody here xmr first for those kinds of reasons. AnonymousHorse is definitely a scammer.
