While there is a mess where newbies offer freebies or even sell dirt cheap items to get iTrader points for almost anything they sell or buy, I thought about something that might make iTrader has more value than it currently has. This will be that when someone adds iTrader for another member. this iTrader point doesn't add to the count immediately but instead shows as "Pending" for 30 days but the review itself will be visible for anyone who checks the itrader profile of the member. and this the person who added the iTrader point can at any time change it from positive to negative or the other way around so if a buyer buys something then adds positive iTrader to the seller then after few days he discovers that the item is a warez or pirated or anything similar he has the chance to change his feedback rating. On the other side users won't get iTrader instantly so we avoid having a one month old member having 20 iTraders added to him so selling a single dirt cheap item. I know it will require some programming but I know it's not hard for Shawn to do and by applying this the iTrader will be hard earned and really well worth it.
What I do when buy something here or anywhere else is to review the item first and leave itrader once I am satisfied. Its not hard to do, just need a mutual agreement with the seller. You have the right to do it.
I came with idea because if we delay the iTrader after investigating the item for few days we will forget to add iTrader and won't get iTrader from the seller as well. In those 30 days iTrader point is not added to the cummulative number and the review is hidden as well while only the buyer and seller can see this iTrader and the one who gave the iTrader can change the rating and the description and then it becomes visible after 30 days of the date it was originally given. Another tweak for this idea is to make negative iTrader show instantly (for quick announce of scam) but positive iTrader delays by 30 days.
