Seems really nice feature, I have seen this feature in few other sites too. Needs to know more about it.
You can now see basic transaction history for users next to their "Feedback Score"... 3 numbers represent transactions paid, transactions unpaid and transactions paid late (you can hover over them if you forget). For example, you can see this user has been involved in 4 instant pay transactions, 3 of which they already paid and 1 is still unpaid.
Nice feature but either I don't understand the concept properly or If I do, I think it can give a wrong idea. For example if I have been paid late 4 times and it shows that on my post bit, wouldn't someone think that it is me who has been late in payment 4 times? Perhaps you link the numbers to a page which gives all the details? EDIT: Sorry I was being stupid, I didn't read it was "buyer" history.
So is this only for the Instant Pay feature or can sellers and buyers work together and give each other extra feedback according to these values? For example a seller can mark a buyer as either paid, yet to be paid or paid late however the buyer and seller both must calibrate with each other to ensure no false details are given out.
Its all automatic so there's no scope for fraud. Though I'm not sure how this rating system deals with refunds and disputes.
I like the guess. It looks promising. Hope the scams stop now. ---------------- Hope it reports on transactions from DP alone, or the particular transaction in question. Otherwise. it's not good.
Very good feature shawn, but i would like to suggest you one more fix. This was in earlier version of dp but not in this one. The section specific search feature, currently we're unable to search posts from specific section, i.e category, for example if i want to find "blah blah articles" in content section. The results displayed are from various other sections. I hope you got what i am trying to make you understand.
Yes moneybookers and alertpay should not be neglected, many many people rely on this , also more payment gateways will make it easier for people who are from different countries.
