I very much doubt the owner of the forum would want to be actively promoting and "approving" people/traders.

what happens when someone forgets to put someones wheel back on right?

"them nobs at MK5golfgti said this place were mint pet"

good idea, but in practice, probably not something the forum want to get involved with?

mehh... that would be my take as a forum owner anyways!

....But it wouldn't be a case of a seller's rating being a SteveP rating. Wouldn't ratings be given by members following their experiences of the seller?

I'm not fussed either way - If folks don't trust me it's their problem, not mine.

I guess that even a forum rating is no guarantee either. And then again, folks have to deal with the expectations of others and that's a minefield.

Probably best to just name and shame anyone who is seriously misbehaving and leave things as they are.

Nice comment

SteveP:
The site can't take responsibility for sellers on here which is why we have always made it clear it's buyer beware. As has been said above you should treat it no different to buying out of a free classified newspaper etc.

We will always do what we can help if something goes wrong with a transaction completed on the site, but being honest other than banning or deleting the seller there is virtually nothing we can do.

Weston:
It was only a suggestion. I don't mean that the site should take any responsibility, just that there might be a way of members saying that they bought stuff from other members without issue, by way of giving more confidence to potential buyers in the future. Obviously people can change / lie / register as a new member so caution would still need to be taken.
