"For Sale" Forum Suggestion

[PROS14]

Sup? I dunno if this has been brought up in the past but I would like to bring it to everyone's attention. For a while now, I notice that a some people in the "for sale" forum have been complaining about scammers claiming to be selling products but stealing the buyer's money instead. Also, there are people who are not able to complete transactions because either the buyer or seller is not fulfilling their end of the bargain. What I propose is a "trader rating system." I saw this system used on evolutionm.net; my friend loves this system and feels more confident in every transaction he does within it (he feels confident from a buyer and seller's point of view).

For example:
Civic_TypeX
Join Date: Oct 2003
Location: -
Car:98 LX
Trader Rating: (4)

When u click on the number, u would be able to see the feedback of the member from the sellers / buyers. It is also similar to the ebay rating system, and is a great way for the buyer / seller to see what type of person they are going to do business with.

I kno that the mods or whoever is in charge of maintaining the site would have a ton of work ahead of them, but this would create safer transactions and a greater sense of security. I kno that this is not the exact solution to the ever-escalating problem, but it would prevent scammers from taking money or products from god-honest buyers / sellers so easily. Well, thank u for ur time and hope that this has been enlightening.

sweet, but can anyone just post in some one's feedback?? i mean ... is there a way to keep that in control to only open it to people who buy/sell with

 

[greenlx777]

^^ ur right about that, i was testing it out, almost gave you some positive feedback...John
im guessing eveyone should be responsible, and only post if a transaction is made...

yeah, admin is lookin into it .. he just pretty much installed it and hasnt' really had a chance to peep it yet

so i guess we're just working with trust here. . . once we get more info on it, im sure if someone f**ks around, just have to report it to us mods and we'll edit it and ban the person that was messin s**t up

when you give feedback..doesnt it have an option to link to the transaction on this site.

that way..you cant just create a positive or negative feedback, without having proof that something has been bought.

very true, but it still messes up the overall rating score . . .

Hey, it's no prob. Always lookin out for my fellow CC members. Looks great, btw! Hopefully, when all the lil problems have been worked out, this system will be an effective tool against fraudulant transactions.

if anyone receives false feedback, please report it so that it can be fixed.
