INTRO (noob here) Why do all Chinese sellers call me Dear?

[zapzap69]

Hey all, I stumbled onto this forum just today, and if I'm being honest, it's a lot to process (forums are completely new to me, and there's an overwhelming amount of info here)

I'm seeing discussions about stuff I've never even heard of, Discord servers being taken down, huge threads, and Chinese women addressing everybody as "Dear"

I'm just attempting to navigate this place and work out how to avoid getting ripped off. Is there a solid starter guide anywhere, or can someone point me toward where to begin?

Any assistance would mean a lot!

I’ve placed several orders that went through without problems. My approach is to go through the vendor reviews section, then pick a seller based on what other members have written. I won’t claim this method is 100% fool proof, but it has helped me a lot

Unfortunately there's no way around it — you'll need to do plenty of reading. Search is your friend for finding your way around; check out who ran the tests, see what the more seasoned members have to say, and eventually you'll reach a point where trusting someone becomes your own call. On top of that, you'll need to learn how crypto works!
