Title: A little Finalazing Question ( Vendor Side!)
Post by: Zero Gravity on June 22, 2012, 08:40 pm
Hello there,
I Have watched my Ratings now for a while, because they was a bit in Basement!
Now i have had a long Stroke of only 5/5 Ratings, what brings me back a bit %, but then i noticed that the % goes down a little without getting a Bad Rating, so i do my Research why this could be so!
And i found out that some payments get Finalized without a Feedback is leaved in my History!
So is it Possible to finalize without Rate the Vendor?
Or is that an Error in the System?
And how ( if it so ) this flows in the % Calculation, like an 1/5 or how must Understand this?
Thanks for taken your time and Help me out of this Confusion !
With best Regards Zero Gravity

Yes, it is possible to Finalise (early or not) and not submit a review.

I've a friend who hasn't submitted a review for a vendor - I'll get onto him right away about this!

Would be very interesting to know...
Because imo it's not possible to finalise w/o leaving a rating, at least you need to give ?/5 points, you're not forced to leave a feedback/review as text, but rating is mandatory, as soon as you finalize the order.
I can't tell you exactly why the rating drops w/o a rating, in theory it shouldn't do (afaik). I think the rating is not updated in real-time, but once (or more often?) a day. If you're looking after your ratings every second or 5 minutes, it can probably seem to you like your rating changed w/o having a finalization.
If you want me to explain it to you in foreign language, leave me a msg ;)

As i sayd, i see from some Transactions only that they r done, but if i look in my Feedback i didnt see them!
And not only fresh ones, some r 3 Weeks or more old!

I think one of two things happens.  I've had a couple AFs and they have not negatively affected by rating.
Auto-finalized/no feedback is defaulted to 5/5
OR
Auto-finalized/no feedback is not included in the average.

Do you have any stealth listings up? The (5/5) feedback I left for a private listing I bought recently didn't show either. The vendor's transaction count did go up though, and I'm sure that my feedback counted towards his rating. Don't know if this is a bug or by design.

That may be the Answer!
I had stealth Listings, i will check if the Transactions i miss on my feedback Site will be found there!
But i think  You hit that nail square on the head!

Wow Thanks for the heads up, I hope you get that answered and I am gonna check back to see myself. I dont get the fee's, I had an order last nite add up to $267.00 inc. shipping, when I looked at the transaction it showed total price $232.55 that is $34.45 gone, over 12%, Do you know if a mistake was made? There is alot we must watch and I guess learn but sharing experiences will help us all out!
