this is just a suggestion.. Seller should post the itrade after payment and buyers after the project is completed.. that way the seller can really show/express negative or positive without the buyer saying SCAM or Lies..
That is the most logical way to do it, and anybody and everybody with an iota of common sense would be doing it that way. It would be stupid to give a premature I-trader.
There is no rule for leaving iTrader earlier or later so its up to buyer and seller (when to leave iTrader). DON.
I guess in that case the itraders editing time should be extended from 8 hours to 4-5days maybe so the seller/buyer gets a fair chance to report if anything goes wrong.
Then if you have any doubt related to buyer/seller, you can leave iTrader after 4-5 days or more days. Its up to you. DON.
the editing time most likely will not be extended, as Don suggested, wait several days before issuing said iTrader to be sure your satisfied. personally, i don't leave iTrader for a week or 2, not until i am satisfied.
I some case I would wait for at least 2 weeks before leaving an itrader or as fast as 1 hours depends on the transaction value and member reputability.
most sellers don't give itrade unless the buyer gives first.. i only traded with 4 people and all have the same case..
