Beyond.ca has implemented a Trader Rating system for the marketplace section of the forums due to requests we have received. This post is an introduction of the system, please be aware of it and how to use the feedback system both as a buyer and as a seller.
About Feedback
Every forum member has a feedback rating which is displayed as a rating number in parentheses. If you click on the number a window pops up displaying comments from other members they've bought from, sold to, or traded with. Inside this window, if there is one, you can click on the comment itself to view the URL of the marketplace post that is being rated.
For example: Bob (12) means that the forum member with the user name Bob has received positive feedback from at least 12 other forum members.
How it works
The feedback rating system is easy. You receive:
+1 point for each positive comment
0 points for each neutral comment
-1 point for each negative comment
When to check it
Before you negotiate on an item in the marketplace, you can check the seller's feedback rating by clicking on the number next to the "Trader Rating", or from their profile page. Sellers may also want to view the feedback profiles of potential buyers to see how reliable they've been in the past.
How to leave it
After you make a sale, purchase, or trade, remember to leave feedback for the forum member you bought from or sold to via their profile page. This helps everyone in the community know what it's like to deal with that member. Feedback can be left by clicking on the profile button under each users post.
Notes:
Feedback cannot be erased. The feedback you give is permanent, so be sure to make only fair and factual comments. Giving false or innacurate information will more than likely get you banned from the forum. If somehow you did leave incorrect feedback, please contact a forum Administator.
This system was implemented to provide buyers and sellers with some additional information to work with. Beyond.ca cannot guarantee the accuracy of the rating system and is provided as informational purposes only. Users tampering with, or abusing the system in any way will be banned. If you see any suspicious ratings, please contact one of the administrators.
If you have any questions about this feedback system, feel free to ask in this thread or PM me. If there are any problems with the system, please let me know as well.
