    I always try and leave feedback. The last couple years it never seems to be reciprocated.

    Used to when I first joined the forum, but nowadays doesn't seem like as much as before. The last few things I bought, no one left any feedback whatsoever.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.

    Suppose people probably think that you don't really need it...

    In the past, it mattered to me, and I would PM the buyer/seller to leave feedback but nowadays not so much. If its a well known member then I wouldn't hesistate and if well known member f'd me over, I would make a big thread and pressure admin to give me all info on member and track him down.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I do on other forums especially for gun related stuff, the old saying of "Just because I'm buying guns doesn't mean I didn't bring any" is relevant. I got scammed a couple years back on a firearm purchase and now I want multiple proofs of this persons legitimacy before I do any business with them.

    I leave feedback but I find barely anyone does in return. I'll browse other peoples trader rating, especially if its a user name I don't recognize.

    absolutely.

    I find my good rating makes transactions 100x easier then they used to be. people see my trader rating and join date, they know that I value my ability to sell random things on beyond so I would never tarnish that by being late or hard to deal with.

    I find if I have something for sale now, there is no haggling, no trust issues, literally just get PM saying "I'll come grab it right now, whats your address?"

    I would say its a very valuable tool for people regularly using beyond to trade, which is what it has more or less developed into from just a "enthusiasts" forum.

    I would agree that at least half of the times I have bought or sold something I haven't received feedback but its not a huge thing because there is a base there already. I do look at ratings when someone PM's me however. If I see a zero and its a lowball I know its not worth my time to bother responding.
