New feature for market - buyer stats?

I think a nice new feature for an existing market to implement (Agora, SR2.0) or a new market to introduce would be the ability to view our own stats as a buyer. When we visit a vendor's page, we can see their # of deals, their feedback, their rating. These stats would be nice to know about for ourselves (as buyers) as well. Not to see everyone elses stats, but our own on the profile link - # of positive orders, our positive (or negative) feedback received, whatever. Sometimes vendors request that new buyers with no stats FE so Im assuming they can view our sucessful orders, etc.. Would anybody else see this as useful?

If other people want and/or like this feature, we would be happy to implement it on dl.

I personally think buyer's should be keeping tabs on their purchasing history (not necessarily the items, but the relative value in USD/BTC) and market presence, so if/when a market goes down, they can bring that to the next market.

Just like vendors already do, with their old PGP public key, or a signed message verifying their new public key with the old one.

It's important that those users who stand out and have recognizably good transaction history should be distinguished from those who are new customers, or those who have negative feedback and/or a high autofinalization/refund rate.

It is definitely a thing that i think was usefull for everyone, especially Vendors in their activity to spot scammers and manage their refund/reship policy (good refund for confirmed buyers, small refund for new buyers for example).

It was present on SR 1.0 for sure but it has almost disappeared since, i think myself it was a really nice feature i must say and i would like to see it back on the DarkMarkets...

There was perhaps security concerns that emerged after the SR 1.0 problems (server seized) that have decided Admins to get rid of it, i hope not it was really usefull and i don't think it carry more risks really in case of compromission if it is done well...

Thinking more about it.. I'm not sure what practical uses this could have specifically maybe but I guess it would add some clarity for the buyer - so for example if a buyer gets a bad review or rating (deserved or otherwise) they'd know about it. Wouldn't have to be complicated statistics just something simple like a flag on their own profile page if theyve received negative feedback for whatever reason.. something along those lines..

Pandora has total $ transactions spent, # of transactions and # of refunds listed on buyer profile page.. Not really feedback or anything too useful that the buyer doesn't already know..

Blue Sky has buyer feedback, but we don't let buyers see their own (or any other buyer's) detailed feedback, just their cumulative score. Only other sellers can see a buyer's detailed feedback.

The reason for this is that vendors need to feel like they can be honest when leaving poor feedback for a buyer without worrying about retaliation. Most buyers are great, but some are a pain in the neck and find some way to complain about every single purchase and ask for refunds for $3 samples, which isn't fair for hard-working vendors.
