Site Forum

I have said this before and will say it again... feedback does not exist so we can all pat each other on the back and say what lovely human beings we are because everyone gets a sticker.

It is there to provide an accurate reflection of your trading experience with a member so the rest of the community can be aware of what to expect from that member.

If you have a trade experience that is so bad that you "won't be making any more trades with this member" then not only should you, but you need to leave negative feedback — with valid reasons for it — to protect every other member here.

I can not fathom why so many members here feel a need to protect members who have left them with a bad trade experience while having no problem leaving the other honest trading members of the site to suffer the same bad experience.

Yes.

The feedback guidlines describe the following conditions:

• Neutral - All items received, but will not be transacting with the member again due to other reasons.
• Negative - No items received or partially received and will not be transacting with this member again.

I have left negative feedback in another situation when the cards were never sent.  In this situation, the cards were received, and I believe the problem was due to a misunderstanding or naivity on the other member's part of the conditions of cards to be traded, not a malicious attempt to scam or cheat, so I will be leaving netural feedback. 

I have also contacted the member to explain to them the general expectations of the membership when it comes to the condition of cards to be traded.

yes.. This thread needs to end.. USE THE FEEDBACK SYSTEM.. I HATE NEGATIVITY

You are all failing to use the feedback? Why?? 

Most will not read this post and have no clue. He still has 100% on his feedback and that is what everyone looks at. You're not only letting down the website you're setting up others to be disappointed and getting stuck into a bad trade. 

If you can't be honest by giving bad feedback when it is earned. You are the one that will bring down the website to a lower level in others' eyes. You are also one that can't be trusted. We already have, you can't trust the pricing here. Now the feedback is in the same boat?? Great news for the website. :(

So after reading most of this, I have learned that feedback stats are useless. Because people are afraid, to tell the truth. 

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be working on a new policy for trading. It will entail more research but I'm good at that.  Like I see he has 46 trades with only 19 listed on the feedback. tells me two things. 1. He can't be trusted. 2. Less the 9% gave feedback. Meaning there are a lot of people here that are not doing the right thing to make the website a better place for all and your name is on that list. 

Know this if you're not giving bad feedback when it is earned. The people that are here to screw you over are going to put your name on their list and will send you a trade that will go wrong for you.  Scammers always pick on the weak. Sorry to say but this post has made some of you targets for them by what you have written. 

Remember if you fail to do the right thing because of fear. You're only letting down the website and everyone here and that makes you the weak link.
