Just wondering about this this week, since I've bought and sold things from beyonders lately.
Does anyone care about trader ratings? Do you look at them before you buy something?

I do, yea.

But seriously, would you make deals with a new account that had zero trader rating and no posts?
If I see the person has numerous positive trade reviews and zero negatives, it makes me not worry at all about dealing with them or thinking I might get screwed over. I would probably think the same about a long time member though even if they didn't have trader ratings. New user + no trade rating and I wouldn't deal with them.
Same here, because mine > yours.Quote:

I would, but I would be more wary and inspect the item further. We all start off somewhere.
shit I probably have half the trader rating I should have. I rarely get a trader rating anymore. I look at them to see if more reputable members have dealt with the person.
What defines a "more reputable member"?Quote:

someone who at least somewhat regularly posts, I think, as opposed to trader rating.
When people ask questions here and I don't recognize the OP username, I look up previous posts. If they are someone who only comes here to ask questions and/or sell stuff, I troll :DQuote:

I stopped caring like 5 years ago. If I insisted on getting one for the past 5 years, I'd be well over 100 I am sure. I also haven't really bought/sold on here in a while I feel, which makes me feel like someone should buy/trade my watch I got for sale on here right now, so I can get a trader rating. :rofl:
Trader rating is just another meaningless number in the grand scheme of things.
i just look at them for the lols, never a consideration when actually doing a deal.
I use it, but i feel the marketplace as become much less active over the years. Would I deal with a newbody? Sure, but I would treat it like a typically kijiji transaction. I also look at when the last time a transaction was done. No transactions in a few years and I basically treat them as a '0'
I always forget its there until after the fact
I don't know that it's less active. I've both bought and sold items in the last week, and I don't even both posting to Kijiji unless beyond fails me.
Sold and bought a few things on here, but nobody has ever given me a rating :( :cry:
^lol, well played dirtsniffer
Bastard! Just noticed this!
:rofl:
I'll be sure to not deal with NoPulp based on his shitty trader rating.
