Important! Since you dont have any method to sell multiple copies of the product via instant pay, I cant get feedback for every product I sell unless I open a new thread for each of them which is not allowed?
I would like to see the itrader number stay after new system. I have a lot of itrader and it gets me a lot of business and now I will be like starting all over. very disappointed =( I agree.
I have read that itraders will be added as your starting feedback score in the new system, but still, we will loose a lot of possible feedbacks after that implementation.
Where did you read that? Would be awesome though. I'm going to start trying to get some 'new' iTraders in a couple of months, so hopefully the system can stay. The problem for me is that for example clients that buy hosting, they exchange an iTrader with me after buying hosting (and making a reply in the thread) but with this system it's kind of impossible to do this kind of stuff
Actually I don't think that's what he said. It will remain as legacy temporarily is what I read. Could be wrong I guess... -- Any idea of a time frame yet Shawn?
It meant that. whatever your itrader score is, it will be your score in the new system to start with. and we will loose a lot of positive ratings to be given due to this reason:
Would you not prefer to have a system that is almost foolproof, compared to one which could be manipulated and used for ones' advantage which wouldn't be fair to those who have legitimately earned their ratings?
and how will you count non paypal payments ? how will you report bad deals and scams? how will you avoid paypal chargebacks once the payment is counted under new system.
PayPal already notifies us of anything to do with the transaction... Disputes (including who won), refunds (partial and full), chargebacks, etc...
Wow, so a scammer who successfully charges back will also be able to put down reputation of a seller because he wins the dispute. interesting.
Maybe something can be done for this like putting a T&C for transactions.just an idea. BTW Paypal have some guidelines for sellers about charge backs.It can help sellers.
Look guys I don't know why you are slagging off the decisions of DP, do you really think he would be considering these changes if he thought they would harm or decrease the performance of the site?
