I have been screwed over by a few people here the last few days but I'm worried about leaving a negative itrader to worn others to be careful but cant in fear of getting a negative in return. This is a problem at Ebay too and they dont let sellers leave negatives. Maybe a way to leave itrader and block the seller from leaving a negative in return. Just a thought I had because I would like to be able to worn people of these people and not let them keep getting away with it because they know they wont get a bad itrader cause they will leave one in return. Thanks, DP, I'm not complaining, I love the site, this is just a suggestion.
Guess so. But I'm sure that could be fixed too. Like make it where they can't leave an itrader as a buyer if they started the thread or if they were left one from a buyer already in that thread. Then if they did it in another thread that would be against DP TOS and be grounds for getting banned...?
Well if this comes into effect, we can have even more scams. A scammer can give you a negative iTrader which you dont deserve and then you cannot do anything about it. So a bad idea according to me. DP can come out with payments type, where buyer sends a payment, it is stored in a temporary location, seller provides the service and then upon mutual agreement, payment is transferred to the seller.
Yes this would be completely pointless, because it will lead to more scams and the buyer would leave the seller Itrader for the stupidest thing without a Rebuttal.
No... How is that? Lead to more scams? Trying to stop that. Trying to make it where people can expose these people. Read it all man. I know you quoted the last time I said that. Maybe you just don't get it. Why would the buyer leave a bad itrader if the deal is good????? Were talking about sellers leaving bad itraders to people who give them a bad one just because they got one. I mean it works for Ebay... Admins please close this thread.
No it doesn't, ebay is full of chargebacks and disputes and the people can screw others over walk free while the seller can do nothing to protect others.
Your missing the point... Dude. Were talking about people leaving a bad itrader just because they got one. If you buy something from somebody and they rip you off don't you want to let people know so it don't happen to them and not have to worry about getting a negative itrader when you didn't do anything wrong??? I know there are going to be scams and I'm trying to make a suggestion to make it easier for people to expose them people.
It's a 2-way street you're talking about. It's not only sellers who need protection. eBay is in the business of monitoring transactions, thats just a free service DP offers. eBay also has methods of tracking transactions. They own PayPal, and most things being sold are physical goods. That's why it works. Good luck getting eBay or PayPal to refund you for an explicitly electronic transaction, and that's mainly what the BST on DP is. If DP staff had to make an escrow service, and allow only buyers to leave bad rep, then the system could still be abused here. People could extort sellers by iTrader, for instance. And the idea of a DigitalPoint Escrow is ludicrous - use Escrow.com or similar if you need it. The mods are always repeating "iTrader is an unmoderated area" because there simply aren't the resources to investigate every single thing that may come up, and without that, they would be accused of favoritism. Do your due diligence, and take the hits as they come, if they come.
Wow, Guess I won't leave any more suggestions. Maybe I'm not wording it right. Just talking about itrader here...don't need no damn escrow or any of that crap. WTF You said not only sellers need protection were not talking about sellers here... Talking making it where people can expose bad sellers and not get there itrader ruined for doing so. Just trying to offer an idea DP could build off of it.
It's very admirable to always be looking out for improvements to be made. But this isn't your website, you shouldn't be so attached to your ideas. Even when it is your website, if 9 of 10 people tell you something is a bad idea, leave it and go to the next. Creativity is a good thing, so is being able to adapt.
Ya, its not my site, this is a suggestion thread. If they didnt want suggestions they wouldn't have an area for it. I'm not attached to the idea its people are talkin $hit when I just made a suggestion. If it WAS my site and I was an ADMIN I would thank the person for the suggestion and just be done with it.
it's an automated system. who's to say the seller is always right? what if the "bad guy" sends the feedback first?
If you want to leave iTrader feedback, you have to be willing to accept it. That's how it works. If you want to leave feedback but don't want to do it in iTrader, leave a negative review in the deal thread. If there is no actual deal thread, you're out of luck either way.
