Title: 5 star rating similar to eBay
Post by: danknugsdun on December 20, 2012, 01:23 pm
I'd like to see vendors have 5 star ratings based upon eBay's system;

Dispatch time - (How quickly vendor dispatched order, 1 being very slow 5 being very fast)
Communication - (How happy you were with vendors messaging, 1 being very poor 5 being very good)
Product quality - (Was the product as described in the listing? 1 being terrible 5 being better than expected)
Packaging - (How good was the packaging 1 being terrible 5 being super stealth)

I can't imagine this would take thousands of lines of code and would be a nice feature to see :) Feel free to add your input.

Dank

I like it. It's similar to what is being proposed here: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=95908.0

The current "always give a 5/5 unless you're completely pissed off in which case give a 1/5" is stupid.

To quote myself:
Quote from: HOUSE
Better information provided at the feedback stage means buyers can make well-informed decisions, and the more standardised the feedback is (yes/no questions or ratings rather than comments), the better. I find the current feedback system to be somewhat lacking, and in many cases one has to sift through tons of forum posts in order to determine how reliable a vendor really is (as regards everything not just shipping - product quality and so on as well).

I also don't agree with giving a 5/5 for packages which did not arrive. The vendor is partly (if not fully) responsible for non-arrivals. Why do certain vendors have much higher success rates than others, if not for the fact that their packaging is better?
