Ok, I've been thinking about a good way to find a way to rate buyers. So, tell me if this would be a good idea or not.
Each buyer is rated by the seller just like the sellers are except for this.
A buyer would receive a point for each of these categories. Just throwing out some ideas.
1 point given for good communication/following instructions
1 point given for using GPG
1 point given for releasing coins promptly.
2 points given for having a good experience.
Then when a buyer has so many points/transactions I as a seller would be more than willing to offer a discount to a buyer that has a good rep. and charge more for one that doesn't. this would help keep buyers from making tons accounts and reverse scamming.
So if I were selling to a reputable buyer not only would it be a little cheaper but I also would be willing to offer higher quantities.
Im just spitballing, so don't trash me, lol....

I like the idea :)

eBay did this years ago but stopped because sellers would coerce buyers into leaving good reviews by threatening to lower their ratings of the buyers.
It sounds like a good idea, but in practice it would be abused.

It's a great idea, but to implement it, you will just have to get a vendor account and start using your system.
