Of course it also works the other way round, a buyer can tell the seller that he/she's 'thinking' about leaving bad feedback to see if the seller has any solutions to the problem. I agree with the last poster - an Amazon-type system would be good though nothing will be perfect.[/quote]and therein is the problem... it works both ways... there are 'tons' of threads in the vendor forum detailing accounts of buyers 'extorting' vendors for better ranking... i know you guys only see it from the buyer aspect but before we initiated the vendor forum and bad buyer threads we had NO way to deal with the extortionists... I will agree 100% that it is not a perfect system and the bad buyers and bad vendors will eventually be weeded out but for now this is the best system we have...
