Buyer/ Seller feedback

Leuz

An easy idea would be to create a subsection called "For sale - feedback" where each registered seller can have their own:
[Seller name] feeback
post where users can leave their feedback. This section (watched by moderators) would be easily searchable and browsable by username. What buyers are interested in are the most recent feedbacks and those can be found from "last page" backwards. Also, "good" sellers could link that post in their signature and/or encourage for feedback after a transaction there.
This, like the eBay feedback mechanism, would lead buyers to leave a feedback and sellers to care about offering a good service.
It would take a while for people to get accustomed to the idea but it is something that can benefit both sellers and buyers.

I guess that would work, but it still doesn't stop Joe (let's say) posting that DE.50 is the best guy to deal with on the forum, when in reality Joe and I are friends trying to hold out on that big score where we sell a GTM 4.5L stroker with their 1000HP TT kit and try to pocket $50k or whatever...


Honestly, I think we've KINDA got it down, forum members watch one another's backs, yes, there are dumb transactions being made, but 99.999% of the time, the offers are too good to be true and the buyers jump the gun and are doing something dumb, or not being cautious enough...
And I hope I can be an example of... Oh, Andrew is selling a Nismo suspension without pics? Meh, a) he's a premium member and AK probably has all his info, and B) Andrew ain't going to ruin his reputation of having 50+ purchases and sales under his belt for a few hundred bucks, AND I'll at least cover my own àss a bit anyways and use PayPal without the gift feature

(Although I just got gifted money, lol. I'm still not screwing anyone for $250)

I've noticed that some ppl will post a How-Things-Went comment after everything is shipped and funds transferred. I did so when I purchased a set of OEM air ducts from another member (can't find the thread, but it's there somewhere). Look through the buyer/seller's past posts for those comments.

Same, and I like to leave my for sale threads open in case I did something wrong or vice versa, that it's out in the open.
And luckily a lot of us already "bump for a great seller" "bump for easy transaction" and things of that nature on a person's future for sale threads
