Does that mean you’re banned? Heard them talking today about banning people.Gone for me too
Strainly is literally committing suicide. Never have I heard of having to pay a separate fee, before receiving any money in the first place? Forcing people to use bitcoin? And if the buyer never pays, then what? INSANE! I feel bad for the sellers. Strainly wont last a year if they keep it upCharging an annual fee to post listings makes more sense. Let the listers assume all responsibility as far as how they get their money. The only sales "requirement" should be some token generated per sale to protect the customer and allow for a meaningful feedback system.
Strainly trying to take a cut via crypto will only drive sellers away. It's stupid.
If the buyer doesn't pay you gotta hit up Strainly for a refund. I already have 5 of them. I'm gonna wait til 10 and email them. New system is garbage.Strainly is literally committing suicide.

I can’t find it on discord either, could you help a brother out?You guys just need to message me. People without a rank won't see the channels.
I think you need to mssg a mod if you don't have a rank. If you can mssg leetdood on discordI can’t find it on discord either, could you help a brother out?
Thanks, yeah I actually found a working link several pages back and messaged him on discord, but thanks for the fast response.I think you need to mssg a mod if you don't have a rank. If you can mssg leetdood on discord
No problem man, love to help other growers grow their own dank!!Thanks, yeah I actually found a working link several pages back and messaged him on discord, but thanks for the fast response.
Btw, you’re one of the guys here I get some of my best knowledge from, appreciate your recipe on the Gaia green grow and seeing your results is one reason I’m trying to find this farmer Joe for genetics so thanks pal
By that logic they owe me for all the times I got ripped off *cough pink box cough*With regard to whomever runs Strainly, that dude is a passive aggressive mfer. He took offense to a post I made about no longer wanting to sell my gear on Strainly. They also got offended by a comment that someone made, and my reply about scammers (which the platform is absolutely full of, which Strainly did nothing about btw). He got mad at that, and pointed out that I used their service for free to make two dozen transactions. I said yeah, I was using the service as I was allowed to do so. Basically they were trying to imply how ungrateful of a freeloader I was being. But they never came out and actually said it. Implied heavily though.
While that was going on, they sent me an email offering me a free month of their Pro membership to stay. I politely declined, but also said that I thought that they were making a huge mistake by the implementation of an upfront sellers fee, only payable via Bitcoin. A fee that a seller pays whether the buyer waffles or doesn't. I also explained again that I only used their service as they allowed me to do.
They later passive aggressively replied,
"Thanks for showing you never intended to pay for the service. So far, it proves to be the best move we've made. It keeps only the people who are serious and committed about their genetics business/hustle."
So I basically let them have it. I'm a pretty even keeled guy, but told them what I thought. Not so politely. I now see that a lot of the nasty shit they said on their IG page about how only pollen chuckers and scammers left their platform, and everything else is deleted. They also sent me a long email which I half bothered to read. What's the point?
They then went back to my Green Wolfe Seed Co page to call me out for my email to them, and all of my ad hominem attacks, which it's true I called them a zealot, a little kid, and maybe something else. There was some swearing, but it was adjectives. Seemed like they were trying to gaslight me, because I couldn't use their own passive aggressive comments against them from their page, since they'd already cleaned it all up yesterday. Which is weird, because some of those comments had been there for a few days to a week. But there were more people complaining than not.
Or maybe they be just wanted to clean up the mess. Either way, transparency at it's finest. I think it's damage control, and I think they are trying to save face. It's not working.
For the record, asking for a fee to sell seeds is not a big deal. Should be expected. But what you actually get from them in terms of service is not worth paying for. And charging you a fee up front is insane. Also forcing that fee to be paid only in Bitcoin is also insane. Best of luck to them..
Dealing with getting a refund from Strainly right now. He makes it about impossible and forces you to have a reserve amount in your wallet on strainly. So you'll never get a full refund even if you do figure it out. I'm funnelling all my customers off the site, it's gonna go under.With regard to whomever runs Strainly, that dude is a passive aggressive mfer.

That's really unfortunate that he's doing that to you. Sorry to hear that. He's a real piece of work.. I'm glad that I abandoned ship. It's sinking fast.Dealing with getting a refund from Strainly right now. He makes it about impossible and forces you to have a reserve amount in your wallet on strainly.

I have wondered about that. With what I've learned by dealing with them (whether it's one person or a group) they/him/her are incredibly crafty and sly. Intelligent in an evil genius sort of way. But also easy to see through, because their contempt seems to politely boil over in every correspondence. The accounts of others that I've read (several) also bear that out. I seriously would not put it past them, especially considering the bitterness that they have for users who used their platform without paying them.In concrete terms, what prevents the STRAINLY admin from anonymously contacting sellers to obtain transaction fees and live off it... This system is very strange, and it shocks everyone, but maybe it's not is not for nothing, on reflection it can bring him big in the long term, but to remain completely anonymous, his only solution is bitcoin, his philosophy must be, patience, install the confidence of sellers for years. month and decides one day to contact all the sellers to collect a small sum of money, it stinks
How they come out I be curious of cutsSnips from Pigtail Gardens, day of arrival:
View attachment 5157997
Sent via UPS, arrived from West coast to East coast in 2 days.
Imo these looked just ok. I’d give them a 6/10 for overall health. However thoroughly inspected and they are bug and pathogen free. After a few days in rockwool under a dome, they’ve greened up and looking decent. I have no doubts they’ll root.
Overall I’m satisfied. Customer service has been excellent.
