Trade Feedback...

[Jaffer]

In my opinion, there should be leniancy in feedback , as of all the trades I have done, only one have I been able to give valid feedback because most deals are done through PM. Are we that cynical????

I don't quite follow what you trying to convey here... Could you please rephrase your question? How are we being cynical? What's going on? Who, what, when, where, why?

Good question Khackdrums, I don't understand either

[Beau]

I think I know what jaffer means. ( correct me if I'm wrong jaffer )

I think he means that there should be some kind of topic in feedback that tells you if someone is a "good" trader or not. For example; I was looking for a certain autograph, and offer to trade it for another one. You would read that, and tell me you have the a.g. I want, and you want to trade. But How do we know that we can trust each other, I could be lieing, or you could.
I think that's what jaffer means, a feedback that tells us if a person is a good trader and not some1 that is a, how do call it, a con artist? ( may a bit cruel, but I can't find a beter word )

I hope I'm right

I believe Jaffer is trying to say that deals done via PM (and not publicly on the forum) should also be eligible to be posted on the feedback thread. I don't think that would be a good idea though, since it would allow for even more lying/scamming.

And this isn't the first time I've said it, but this forum really needs a proper feedback system similar to vBulletin's iTrader.

I think you might have a point dfreely, but I'm not sure if there is a system that is totaly scam proof. But maybe they can make some improvements

[dfreely]

No system is scam-proof, but iTrader would at least offer ease and versatility. It's up to the mods to make sure everything is in check, regardless of whatever feedback method is used.

[Beau]

True, but there is another problem. Let's say I scammed you, however doesn't matter, but I scammed you, and you're telling everyone not to do any form of trading with me, and the mods step in. I can very easely sign in, using a new username, and do the same thing over and over. That's the point I think. And for the record, I'm not a scammer.

[dfreely]

It's really up to each person whether or not they want to deal with someone with no feedback, just like eBay. Even if a scammer came back with a new account, he would at least start with 0 score. It's unlikely a lot of people would choose him over, say, someone with a feedback score of 20.
