Itraders are gone now.. But you still can see your ratings here.. https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/casachucky.213171/ Under Marketplace Tab.. Legacy iTrader rating: 73 - (100.0%)
So the reputation i built for the few years is gone? Haha so the wolves can hide is sheep clothing now.
I don't think so. I think they will soon integrate with the postbit. Of course they will lose many members if they don't get it back. Hard earned reputation they are!
I'm guessing no one was following this thread Shawn Created 3 years ago. I was subscribed to the posts. Transition Away From iTrader
DP will not lose a load of members from a single, practically meaningless number. This is a community forum, the main aim is on the discussions about marketing, SEO and other sorts of discussions. A few members been lost in the process will not be that much of a big deal. DP is still the top contender in the genre and ones this new system settles down it will be a vast improvement for everyone.
@Roach Please see this: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/goto/post?id=18402964#post-18402964 The view varies from person to person though
The old iTrader is named "Legacy iTrader rating" now. You can see it on a user profile under the "Marketplace" tab. I think "Instant Pay" is the replacement for iTrader. You can link your PayPal account to your DP account. You can check here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/account/third-party-accounts
Mine is gone now ... haven't been back in a few months and now I cannot post in the Buy/Sell forum because I lacked the "likes" ... Yuck .. DP is becoming like FB.
Ah true, and after checking a few profiles, they still list your old iTrader as "Legacy iTrader rating"
I had this same problem. As to the iTrader change, I don't really mind it, I used the Paypal payment button feature before, but I also don't really feel comfortable giving such complete access to my Paypal account to any third party that could possibly be hacked. I don't need my Paypal balance posted for me on here or for them to have access to scan my transactions that don't have anything to do with this forum.
The only thing a hacker would be able to do is put money IN your PayPal account, they wouldn't be able to withdraw anything (but all they would need is your email for that anyway since you can send money to people by their email address). There's also no way to "scan" any transactions. We would need to know the Transaction ID beforehand to get any info about a transaction. And even then, the bigger question would be, "Why would anyone WANT to even if they *did* know the transaction ID?" Either way, if you are worried about someone getting your login/password, I would highly suggest using the two-factor authentication option (regardless if you link a third party account or not): https://forums.digitalpoint.com/account/security
I had listed a domain at https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/parenting-related-pr2-6-years-aged.2608208/ & a member bid for it. He has not paid for the same. I cant leave a iTrader now & the market place do not show any unpaid mark in his profile. He is happily playing in the forum now. Earlier system, members used to fear for iTrader system. It is gone now.
Was the auction set up for Instant Pay? If so, it should automatically show an "Unpaid" mark for the buyer and lower their buyer rating.
The system knew about it internally, but I changes some things so the trigger to update the counter is triggered more often. It should be fixed now.
