I think that when a seller looks up buyer stats, it should also say something like "this buyer is #7 out of 1,000 buyers with x% success with x transactions.
What do you think?

I think that stats like 'this buyer is #26,716 out of 133,219 buyers with 21 transactions and a 4.5% refund rate' doesn't tell you anything more than the current 21/4.5% that vendors can see when an order is made.
With vendors there are a reasonable number, and only active vendors are included, so rating vendors in this manner makes sense.
For buyers ratings, would 25,000 be a good score? A bad score? If there are 110,000 active buyers, it's an ok score - but if there are 25,007 active buyers, it's the worst score.
And new buyers all would have to start out as 133,219 out of 133,219 right out of the gate - which pretty much makes the metric useless.

HA!
Now we know where the LSD gummy stars ended up.
Hell, that's how we solve problems, isn't it - you take an idea and throw it out there to let other folks pick apart. It's only by doing that we gain new knowledge and move ahead.

I think the rating system is ok. My problem is how to purchase bitcoins and start purchasing. I tried using a money pak with one vendor SR Discount Pharmacy and got burned for a large amount of money so now I won't be smoking good for the holidays and this guy stats were pretty good....Go Figure
