Trader Rating for Buying & Selling

[The Snowman]

I belong to forums where users have a Trader Rating for buying and selling items. This basically tells you who is cool to buy from or sell to and who can be potential risks.

Any chance of putting a system like this into place?

STFU for a change. It actually works VERY well to inform of possible scammers.





Just kidding Jim. I know you can't help it.

I bet this will be implemented soon.

It's a great idea, and is very helpful when dealing with FS and FT ads.

I'm sure Chuck's familiar with the same system, basically when you go to view feedback, you can click on the link, and it takes you to the FS/FT ad that was rated as well (so this may tie into the discussion of closing/deleting old FS ads...).

Would you get left feedback for stuff you buy and sell or just selling?

It usually works for both. Just like eBay's feedback system.

Also can work for trading as well.

Can we make sure doc starts out with a few negative points?

Looks like it's already in the works:

Doing some testing, yeah.

It's set up and running. To leave feedback for a buyer or seller the best way is to go into the thread in the FS forum, and click the rating number under their username. On the next page you'll be able to submit feedback. Since this modification is new to me, there may be some minor tweaks made as we go.

Where you can see rating info:
1. the far right tab in a user's profile, 'feedback rating'.
2. click the community drop-down menu and pick itrader.
3. in the postbit of every post in the FS forum.

It says the deal link is required...what if the seller deleted thier FS thread?

They can't, unless it happened a while back.

Haha great...I guess they didnt want any evidence.

I know Jim will have a hard time with this, but please try to take this seriously. It lets people know decent people to buy from.

I expect that users like Mr Duncan will lead the pack in positive iTrader ratings.

[The Snowman]

Oh, is there a way to make it so that the forum sponsor forums are also included in the iTrader ratings?

[Jim]

question. if the FS thread gets deleted AFTER the feedback has been listed, will the feedback disappear?

[csmutty]

Works great thanks

I'll add those forums.

I'll check on that, not sure.
