The forums are where quality and more elaborations are discussed. All of the major vendors have at least one thread started on them with multiple participants. The thread in my forum signature has posts from at least 25 unique buyers, so anybody who has never done business with me can go there - every product I offer is covered and customer satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) with the transaction from start to finish is vented there. Even a separate rating for quality is going to have to be subdivided and customized for each product category. I think the forums are the best bet because people are allowed to vent to the good and bad. Feedback is fine, and as for product quality it's a subjective thing (although I'm from Canada and our weed makes Amsterdam giggle like a 12-year-old schoolgirl ;). If you got sticks and stems, put that up there. If you got nice bud, put that up there. Pics help from a seller side, let customers know what they are buying.For funding your BTC account. If you buy stuff online more than just BTC and SR purchases, get a Liberty Reserve account. You can transfer to paypal. You can fund most BTC exchangers with it, it's very fast, and then you are only dealing with the clearing-house times in the actual BTC p2p network. Just keep a reserve of LR $ on hand.
