What is the point of the Trader Score :-(
 

I leave everyone i have bought off a trader score. But unfortunately the seller don't share the same opinion. With all the recent sh$te about con artists, i thought people would be only to happy to participate.

Tell me about it, Im the same but sellers still don't leave for u

Agree'd

I agree totally, I always leave feedback whether it be as a seller or buyer. I have PM'd the other party in the sale if they haven't left feedback after a week or so and have been ignored on every occasion. :cuckoo:

This includes some members and traders with good feedback ratings but at the end of the day they are not obliged to leave feedback. :mad:

I have a current rating of 26 positive feedback but it would be closer to 35 if everyone left feedback for me as well. :wonder:

i agree also and after leaving feedback for the first few of my sales/purchases without it being returned i don't both now unless they do it first.

not really any point to it unless everyone uses it

always leave it but most don't bother to return it

This is its same comparing to other sites like ebay or Amazon,some people don't leave you any feedback

Oh bugger, as a seller I can leave feedback for a buyer? Oops :o

As above....

in all fairness i didnt even know how or what the trader score was untill a seller recently gave me +1 for our transaction!!!
I actually thought it had something to do with the actual traders themselves on here tbh????lol :confused:


So maybe some sort of advertising or a PM to everyone explaining the usage and what its all about is needed??....

I didn't realise that either

3 x slap for the posters above ;)

I thought that it was quite obvious, but maybe a 'trading how-to' might be good as a sticky somewhere?

Damn.

I REALLY wish we'd thought of that one....

Shhh! ;)

Being serious - if you think it will help having a sticky in the For Sale forum i'll see what we can do.

Don't waste your time, Kieran.

Nobody reads Stickies.

You old cynic you ;)

Yes, seriously, slap one up there! And while you're at it, I'm not sure how more obvious you can be but..., is there any way to make it MORE clear to people that they need to pay to post in that section? The number of posts in General saying 'Why can't I post in For Sale?', or 'I can't post in For Sale so here's my advert' is getting silly :(

I'm not sure either...

If people don't read the stickies in place, can anyone come up with a better alternative?

People just ignore info, and worse still is the people who know there is a problem posting in the FS, and then come in here saying they didn't have the permission so have posted here instead. :rolleyes:

I have been fully in support of the idea of having a section dedicated to scams, advice re. buying and selling etc. (an area where you could also include the existing sticky about the trader score function while it's been raised) but to be honest, if people choose to totally ignore what is already here, what would be the point?

I'm not trying to be negative but it's frustrating when you try to provide information which is ignored. If there was another workable solution, I am all ears, but as it stands all we can do is put the information out there and hope for the best.

In the case of For Sale threads elsewhere, they are deleted if either seen directly by us mods or reported.

i gave you one....fnar fnar. : )

joking aside surely the easy way is to agree with the seller you will leave a neutral comment if they don't return the favour? or is it part of the buying experience that they felt your not worthy of feedback?

i do it, and normally get one back too. depends who you deal with tbh

wiley

The system could be made to be much easier to use, for example the required "deal URL" is unnecessary and just puts people off when they have to look for the thread with the deal/transaction.

I think you need to make it idiot proof tbh, when ever i have sold something i give positive feedback and then ask the other party to do the same but they tend to have trouble using it! I guess that is what you for dealing with old people and modern technology:D

i always have just put www.scoobynet.com simple.

also im getting annoyed with people not leaving it back even when i pm them i could have double the feedback i have got!:Suspiciou

I've only purchased a few things off Scoobynet members, both times it went fine (luckily!).

The first time the seller didn't ask me to leave feedback, and the second time the seller did, so I complied.

The point I'm making is that I was totally unaware of what the "Trader Score" was, believing it to be something to do with business sellers.

The Trader Score is a good idea, but seems far too complex to use.

Why not also have a system in place whereby 30 days after the sale completes, the seller is given an automatic positive feedback if the buyer hasn't already left one?

Doh!

I think it's a pain to use too, I couldn't even get it working. Also I've been asked a few times to leave feedback but couldn't even find out where to leave it. When I did work it out it didn't work and kept saying I hadn't filled the form when I had.
