Seller and Buyer ratings system

THANK YOU!
(yes, the all caps was on purpose)

Now how do I get one of those "No BS" ratings?

They could be worded a little better. Maybe I should show that silly ebay "new user" icon instead.

reply to justin
do both the seller and buyer have the option of leaving a feedback for the other ?

yes. Seller can leave multiple feedbacks from one topic for multiple buyers, and any buyer can rate seller once from a topic, and nominate item or items they bought in the rating form.

Glad to see something like this, much easier!

How do I rate a seller on an item I listed as WTB? (or get a buyer rating for that matter)

There is no link on that type of item?
Can this be coming in the future?

yeah I'll do something about that later.

reply to justin
it seems like i have the option to leave each seller a rating, even if i never bought anything from them...is that a glitch?

No, how is the system supposed to know if you've bought anything from anyone?

i thought it might have some sort of moderation where the option will be turned on once the buyer or seller posts regarding the sale

otherwise the option can be abused in a way.

don't get me wrong, i like it, and i have already used it. but i'm afraid it might give bad results

there will be a moderation system, all reviews until there are, except for the ones we've put in from the previous manual list, are marked provisional.

roger that, thank you. great job by the way, thanks.

Just a quick observation. Can the field for review notes be a little (or a lot) longer? JAWS doesn't tell me that the field has stopped accepting input, and until I hit "read screen" and have the whole thing read back to me, I have no way of knowing I have run out of room.

Other than that, it seems to work great.

I would make the suggestion that we have the "x reviews in the past 90 days" under the username go back more than 90 days. That would be fine for ebay, but people on here seem to sell at random, often just one sale every 6 months.

I've changed the ratings under a members name to a 6 month time horizon.

Members get a site IM if they are rated by someone, so they can check it out and dispute it if they want (see below).

For sale forum mods have a page to review the ratings pending, and can delete them or make them immutable.

Unfortunately I can't extend the length of the review summary field. The idea is that the key information - item, detailed rating and topic - is already there, so there should not be a lot more to express in that field. Sorry

As far as possible we added the old ratings to the database. Please review your profile if you believe you should have ratings. If there are mistakes, such as rating people the wrong way around, then please bring that up with state so it can be corrected.

I think it's looking great! Thanks for working on this, we really needed it.

Justin, I found a little quirk in the system. If a seller posts an item for sale, but fails to use the [FS] tag, an option is not given to post feedback.

Can this be changed in the system, or is this something that will have to be brought to the attention of the moderators?
