Neg-ITrader?

    Okay - I don't like leaving negative rep and iTrader for people, I've only ever given 1 negative iTrader, and that was for a guy who scammed me (and others) out of quite a bit of money.

    I was wondering how people would deal with a trader taking on a job and then never completing it. Payment has not been made, so essentially they're not cheating anyone out of any money, however when the job is for a client the loss of time can be just as (if not more) damaging.

    I've had a lot of people recently take on jobs and then disapper completely and fail to answer PMs and emails.

    Is leaving negative iTrader too harsh, or is it a good warning to others?

    i think, negative itrader itself as u did,is best..now much more people join dp with only intention of scamming well reputed members..scamming cases in dp are much more..when such issues occur,let the public get to know that he is just a scammer and so others wont fall into his tricks...

    Is it possible to leave Neutral iTrader? If so, leaving a message that communicates your disappointment with the service provider, without going as far as giving a negative -1 seems the best way to go. This was always my policy on eBay.

    neg iTrader isn't harsh if its warranted, however, there is the likelihood of retaliation. i guess each case has its differences.

    It's all up to you. If it's worth getting one in return, go for it.

    I think that's where the comment system falls down, most people are too scared to leave negative iTrader as they're scared of getting it back.

    It's a good warning for the others. Leaving a neg itrader tells other people to be careful to those people their dealing with or better yet do not deal with these scammers anymore.
