Title: Why doesn't the feedback and rating I left for a vendor show on his page?
Post by: sftman on March 22, 2013, 03:35 am
I recently went through a transaction with a vendor who shipped methylone as MDMA.  Many people had the same problem with the vendor, TheRX.  He claimed he didn't know it was fake and didn't know you could test MDMA.   That seems really unlikely, and if true, he should be banned for ignorance if nothing else.   But the thing I'm trying to understand... What feedback shows up on a vendors main page.  I left him feedback and comments that I think he deserved, but it doesn't show up on his page.  His overall score over the last two weeks has dropped from 100 to 88 but his vendor page only shows two pages of reviews from the past month, and all of them are 5's.  How is this right?   How can all  his negative reviews have vanished?  Seems like a major flaw in the system if he is somehow able to make all these feedback ratings not show up on his page.  Buyers use these ratings to make decisions who to buy from.  If they mean nothing, what's the point?

I'll be honest I do not know why some vendors feedback appears to be limited to a few pages, maybe someone else can chime in here with an answer as I'd like to know myself.

If the listing is marked as "stealth listing", then the feedback will only show for the vendor. Maybe it's possible to hide feedback, that was previously visible, by putting the listing in stealth mode. Haven't personally seen it, but it seems logical.

This happened to me, I wasn't on the road for a couple of months and alot of my old feedbacks fell off, I'm assuming it's an automated thing.

* wasn't on the road much.

Also, kallekatt is right too I believe regarding stealth listings

That is correct. If the listing is in stealth, the feedback's comment and rating will only be visible to the vendor. But the impact of your rating will be reflected in the vendor's overall rating.

And I believe any rating older than 90 days is automatically purged from the system. I'd have to check my buyer account to be certain.

I dont know where else to ask this so sorry if it bothers anybody.
Do I have to make 5 purchases  before I can use the escrow system , or was that just the opinion of the writer of what I read?

No. Even without making any purchases you should be able to make full use of the Escrow System.

I guess said vendor is asking you to FE... well if you're happy to do so, fair enough, but you're forewarned about the potential problems. But you should never FE for anyone really - just find another vendor who is more acceptive of your low purchase history.
