Torzon Decisions Every choice this involves, with what each option costs you

Torzon addresses

Nine published addresses for one market. Copy rather than retype. Which one to use is a decision with a page of its own.

This list is published, not monitored. An address that opens is not an address that is genuine, and checking a signature is the only thing that settles it.

Start › The decisions

Switch markets or stay

People weigh this on interface and fees. The thing that actually costs is invisible in both.

Stay where you have a record

What you gain
Standing that took months to build, and vendors who recognise you.
What you give up
You live with whatever the platform is, including the parts that annoy you.
Suits
Anyone with real history, unless something specific has broken.

Switch

What you gain
A fresh start somewhere that suits you better, and a second option if one platform becomes unusable.
What you give up
Reputation starts at zero. Buyer standing accrues per platform and does not travel.
Suits
People with little history, or with a concrete reason rather than a marginal preference.

Run both

What you gain
Redundancy, and the ability to compare.
What you give up
Two sets of credentials, two balances to forget about, and orders in flight in two places at once, which is how delivery windows get missed.
Suits
Frequent buyers who are disciplined about balances and can track two sets of windows.

What does and does not travel

What you haveMoves with you?
Buyer feedback and standingNo. This is the real cost of switching.
Vendor relationshipsPartly. A vendor active on both may recognise you, and proving continuity means linking identities.
Your balanceNo. Withdraw it before you go, and do not leave one behind on a platform you have stopped watching.
Dispute historyNo, in either direction. Clean records do not follow you and neither do bad ones.
Your judgementYes, and it is the most valuable thing you have. Knowing how to read a profile transfers completely.
The part that does transferThe last row is why a switcher is not really a beginner even though every number attached to them says so. Keep the judgement and expect the numbers to take a while.

Doing it without losing anything

  1. Close out everything open first. Do not run two platforms with orders in flight, because a window will pass unnoticed.
  2. Withdraw the balance rather than leaving it. An abandoned balance on a platform you no longer visit is the most predictable loss there is.
  3. Generate a new identity and key unless you have a specific reason not to. See reusing an identity.
  4. Expect to be treated as new, because you are. Vendors weight recent volume and yours is zero.

What tips it

Whether the reason is concrete. Switching because a platform became unreachable for weeks, or because something specific broke, is a decision. Switching because another one looks nicer is paying months of standing for an interface, which people regret about as often as you would expect.
