Seller and Buyer ratings system

I've put in a seller and buyer rating interface. You will find the link below a new FS topic lead-post, and FS topic owners will find a link allowing them to give feedback to individual buyers by name.

There will be a simple moderation system alongside this, that will be as hands off as possible. All ratings made and taken until that point are provisional. When the moderation system is in place, within the week, the ratings can be accepted or rejected.

More info later.

THANK YOU!

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.

Re: Seller and Buyer ratings system

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.

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

Re: Seller and Buyer ratings system

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

Re: Seller and Buyer ratings system

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.

 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.

 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'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 See Profile so it can be corrected.

 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?

The original person is free to change the topic to include the right tag if they want feedback.

Re: Seller and Buyer ratings system

Seems rather convenient for cons and bad sellers to me. Just leave the tag off and no one may ever catch on because ripped off buyers won't be able to speak.

1 edit		 I'm trying to review a buyer but the link to do so is no longer available on my original post (I guess it's because that post was edited).

How can I do it then?
