Sales Feedback / points reputation system
« on: November 01, 2011, 11:20:00 pm »
As above, just an idea which would obviously have to be made tamperproof before being implemented. I think it would be a good idea and increase a potential buyer's confidence when considering an item purchase on the classifieds section. And hopefully seperate the genuine sellers from the con-artists and clowns. I'm thinking of something similar to fleabay's feedback system?

Thoughts / suggestions anyone?

Cheers

Not foolproof enough. There's nothing stoppin someone build up some rep and rip someone off big time. Have seen it happen on other forums - well known seller, people receiving parts etc then suddenly nothing. The seller's been paid by lots of people but shifted anything.

This has been mentioned before. Forum is primarily to discuss things GTI and not as a marketplace.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

OK, Thanks for your feedback. After some thought I agree, it'd be almost impossible to stop the system from becoming corrupt.

There is random chat and member recommendations you could share your experiences if you are exceptionally satisfied / disatisfied with something  :happy2:
