Let's be honest, the current system for rating a vendor is a joke.
It's either you got the product and left 5/5, contacted the vendor to "make it right" and left a 5/5, or you got scammed and leave a 0/5. Trying to leave anything inbetween results in getting PMs from vendors who essentially blackmail you into leaving 5/5 by holding your buyer rating hostage. The 5 point system really instills a false sense of security when everyone has pretty much the same rating +- .002.
I feel like this could be solved with a simple good transaction/bad transaction rating system. IMO, it would look a lot better if you had 2000 thumbs up/upvotes/whatever vs 5/5 (2000 reviews) Maybe I'm over simplifying it, but I'd love to hear what you think.
Doesn't ME have something similar to that?
