kgbAgent Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi I have only been here a few months and have bought 4 watches. I will consider selling 2 of them to finance a gen movement install I am in the process of organising. I have seen lots of sale posts where peeps point to their trading stats as a sign of their trustworthiness. This is a big factor on the Bay. I personally think this is a good idea as it imparts another degree of "trust" to transactions in what is essentially a 'semi-legal' hobby. If I have had a positive or otherwise experience here then I fell obliged to leave feedback & have done so. I have pm a member here to leave feedback for a piece I purchased (I left positive feedback for them) yet cannot get them to respond to the pm's for reciprocation. This supposed trust works both ways --- some members will only buy from those with good stats and some will give sale preference to those with good buying history. I would like to think that buyers & sellers would (for their mutual benefit) take more interest in this 'feedback' option. I want to be seen as a good buyer/seller here but think there should be more reliance on those involved in transactions to be compelled to leave feedback on their experiences. Is this too idealistic ? Please discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pm a member here to leave feedback for a piece I purchased (I left positive feedback for them) yet cannot get them to respond to the pm's for reciprocation. not at all idealistic i hate having to ask for feedback upon completion of a successful transaction in fact i'm tempted to add it to my list of questions before i make a purchase next time onward ... does the stop watch run properly and reset ? when will you ship the watch ? how many moons will elapse before ya post feedback ? are you really that daft in real life too ? chances are the average user cannot fathom the simple task of clicking the Feedback button in the Main Menu ...

greg_r Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Same thing happens on eBay - about 1 in 6 fail to leave any kind of feedback in my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Not idealistic at all.... It, like any system of this type, only works when people use it. I wish more people would take the time to use it. This was a feature people were excited about when we implemented it. Many are using it. I know I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Personally I find it a little too confusing (I have a very tiny brain [dog brain] ) so I don't leave feedback but it's always good to write a nice dealer review instead. RWG has all bases covered in this case, members can write a little blurb about a transaction and it works quite well too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Reviews are nice but they are rare too, I think I average about one review for every 10 to 15 happy customers. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
