The problem that Im seeing (and Ive talked to other vendors about this) is that more and more buyers are reverse scamming. I know its always been an issue, but for some reason, I think its becoming more of an issue.(especially with opiates) Probably due to the fact there are a lot more buyers here.
Why should it be a one way street with vendors being the only one rated? Ebay, buyers are rated? (I think) Most, if not all, descent vendors will be truthful in their feedback with buyers. the buyer has a great advantage. If a buyer were to receive too much negative feedback, they can start all over. Much tougher for a vendor to do that, (unless their rating is shit anyways) but they have to pony up more money.
The only way I see a buyer not liking a buyers rating system is that he/she will be a terrible buyer...Im a buyer here too, I wouldn't mind being rated. I always finalize the second I get it and give honest reviews. We vendors already have a lot to deal with. Unless your a vendor, you'll never know what type of work goes into this. (much tougher than I thought it would be). AT least a vendor should be able to put a comment next to the negative or even positive feedback.
I know that we have seen an influx of product lately, but im afraid we will lose a lot of new buyers. On the flip side. The info that we can now see about the buyer helps a lot. The other thing that we buyers have to remember is that reverse scamming still is quite low and right and still can be built in to my prices. But if it were to rise, I guarantee prices will rise to combat it. Reverse scamming eventually hurts everyone, its kind of like shoplifting. The stores just pass on their losses on to the customer. I, for one would never be held hostage. If I think someone is trying to scam me, i would say, "Go ahead, give me a 1/5" then explain it on my page..Unless the dollar amount was low, then id take the hit.. I guess thats the best way to handle that situation, badapple...
