The feedback rating system allows the winning bidder and seller to rate each other on how well the seller represented and delivered his/her product, and the timeliness of the buyer's payment. At the conclusion of the auction, the winning bidder and seller can log in to their personal admin page, and provide feedback on the transaction, by rating the transaction as either:
|
1 point for positive |
|
0 points for neutral |
|
-1 point for negative |
Points are automatically totalled and a star icon will appear next to the seller's username indicating their status as a user of the site. A different color star will appear each time the seller passes to a different feedback rating level as indicated by the following chart:
|
negative points |
|
no points |
|
1 to 49 points |
|
50 to 99 points |
|
100 to 249 points |
|
250 to 499 points |
|
500 to 999 points |
|
1,000 to 2,499 points |
|
2,500 to 4,999 points |
|
5,000 to 7,499 points |
|
7,500 to 9,999 points |
|
10,000 points and higher |
In addition to leaving a feedback rating, the winning bidder and seller can also leave a comment regarding the transaction. All comments are viewable by all site users.
The feedback rating is intended to help future buyers and sellers feel confident in conducting business with a particular user.
