New Feature: iTrader

edit: don't forget the knifemaker sale section

I didn't, but I did 9 deals with Todd Davison, only get credit for 1 on Itrader except in larger number that shows in total positive reviews. Also, Todd did not post all of them, because I had preordered 7 of them. Oh well, another year to add to Itrader #, maybe.:)

Spark,
I am not sure how this should be addressed. When you leave iTrader feedback the Additional comments section has something at the side saying that the additional comments are only visible to buyer/seller and mods. Seems simple enough.

However 2 out of 5 who left me feedback so far left additional comments that they clearly thought would be public. It's fair to say that people who have left feedback so far are early adopters and if they are making this mistake others will too.

Maybe you would want to highlight in your initial list of instructions the fact that only the brief comments are visible to the public
 
Just out of curiosity, what is the process that you would go through if you leave negative feedback for someone? Is it like fleabay, where they can just leave retaliatory neg feedback for you? If you were truly in the right, can the feedback be edited to remove the wrongful negative?

Ebay has changed its rules, buyers that paid, CAN ONLY BE LEFT POSITIVE FEEDBACK, This will stop some of the retaliatory mess that has been going on forever, I do hope Itrader will have some ability to have feedback changed. Spark warned that abusers of the system WOULD suffer, banning a possibility. So IMHO folks here are going to be honest. At least, I do think so.

I don't know if it can be removed or not but buyer/seller can leave negative or positive. In my case Flylock left me negative after I left it for him. (because of this post) http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5181751&postcount=1
If a seller has this type of communication skills I feel that it deserves a negative. Especially when the seller has all of your info, and can't figure out how to contact someone. I feel its worth the retaliatory Neg ;) (accidents happen, attitudes do not)
(this was truly out of my hands, and I corrected the problem immediately.)

He was always a true gentleman in all his emails too:rolleyes:

Accidents do happen to all of us, I am just curious and it is really NONE of my business, but he mentioned in his feedback, it cost him fees at the bank when it bounced accidentally. My bank does the same thing to me when my customers bounce checks on me. Did you happen to refund his fees or pay his extra cost. If you did not, then that may be why he is still PO.

I paid him extra for his time and "suffering". He also made NO MENTION of his extra "fees" until after I had left him Neg. Feedback.
So I wonder now if that is something that the mods can change? HHMMmmm

I asked him what the fees were that he was charged, and he either
A: was not charged
B: refunded
C: Didn't care.
I offered to cover the fees because it was my banks fault, he declined.
I sent several emails to get the total he would like paypal'd, he was either very blunt or rude and finally just quit responding to me... Shame on him then... I am an honest knife nut, I always pay. Not a dead beat. That link I provided was HIS FIRST POST ;) about this subject. Not his last. I will have to live with the neg I guess...

Heres the whole progression of things.

IMHO this way of feedback is still easier for buyers/sellers than the GB&U

The one thing I can see though is exactly like in this case, a person receives Neg feedback so they retaliate by doing the same but then things that were a non-issue before can be embellished or added. I only left the truth, I didnt try to add any emotion or personal info, and I didnt change any info from what I posted to what we discussed in emails or this link i just posted either... Lying isn't very nice ;)
I can understand a guy being ticked about a bounced check, but to go off half cocked and treat people like that it definately deserves a Neg. I dont treat ANYONE like that.
 
I've found that about 25% of the people I've left feedback for can't/won't/don't figure out how to leave it for me in return. Is it possible to put a link in the feedback notification emails that would allow the person to click on it to leave their feedback. Maybe a link like Leave Feedback for this Deal. Just a thought.
There must be a way for the people who are not as computer savvy to have a simple method of responding to the feedback notification email to leave their feedback.
 
Frankly, in my opinion if this is something that shows a numerical score and maybe brief remarks like ebay and nothing else I am against it. No single number can substitute for TGB&U.


Exactly how I feel, can mine be diabled?
 
No, it can not.
 
Still a bit confused over "multiple" sales with one member. I gave two positives for two sales to a member whose iTrader rating increased accordingly by 2, but when he left me two positives for those two sales, my iTrader rating increased by just 1. What are we doing wrong?
 
Looks like he submitted the same thread twice.
 
Catch up time is over.
 
I still have 'Unconfirmed Private Message Receipts' listed but when I go look it shows that I have left feedback and rated the buyer/seller. Who does the confirming?
 
hi can anyone tell me why i cant post in the for sale section??? i had a fairly tough time logging in, took a few days to get this sorted out... i had to use my secondary email account @ yahoo because the faq said i could not use my normal email @ verizon...

The only question I have is what determines when a new rating changes the number seen on every post vs it just changing the total. I thought at first it was only changed on the post when some new member made a rating but I've had some guys add positive feedback today that never rated me before and it just changed the total only leaving the number in my posts at 19 and my total at 23.

I'm confused by what the difference is between the number on the post and the number at the total and what determines when it changes one or the other. What am I missing here?

I left feedback to lot i've dealt with over past years
Have 15 "confirmed" messages but only ten showing in my profile as iTrader points.
What's wrong?
 
I only see 10 people have left you feedback.
