hi to all ,
The new problem on SR is the selective scamm by Trusted seller !
they are trusted so why will they scamm people ? 1 or 2 selective scamm by mounth is very profiteable for them !
one idea i have it to put the STATISTIC for a seller rating of refund (refund is not necessary good for a seller.) A newbie can be assured when he saw a high rating of refund for a seller. But in my sens a high rating of refund is not necessary a really good thing ? Why have the seller this high rating ? this is the question.
I think all buyer have to be able to see the seller STATISTIC on his presentation page.
A seller can saw our stats, why we cannot see their selling stat ? ?
perhaps there is other news stats we have to elaborate for give specific helpfull information !
1)how many dispute in resolution center / 2) how many refund / 3) other ...
i think we have to think and ameliorate this point.
Other point :
i think all personal discussion have to be "puplic" for the SR staff ....they can see what have been said in personnal discussion with Seller-buyer ...
what is said in private for resolving a situation have to been apply !!!
But there is possible when a seller go to resolution center he denied what he have said in private ...
SR staff have to been able to see what the seller have said in private to you.
what a seller say he have to do, that is an obligation of service.
Other idea :
If the SR staff proof (by these methods) that a seller have really the intention to scamm or the intention to not do what he have said private he have to receive an ADVERTISSEMENT !!
this advertissement we can saw in the stats seller !!!
5 advertissement and he have to pay a tax , 10 advertissement he is account iss removed ...
what think the comminity of these ideas...they have to be more reflexioned ...

I think thats a really good idea as sellers can refund 50% and walk away with 5/5 rating do that to 5 people a month you made loads and your stats still look great.
Selective scamming does happen alot more than it should and this would enable us as buyers to avoid these scammers

You are assuming that the five people selectively scammed would all give you 5/5 feedback. You're also assuming that none of them are going to show up on the forums and scream "SCAMMERSCAMMERSCAMMER!!!!" when their package doesn't arrive rather than trying to work something out with the vendor.
Occasionally packages get lost in transit. Occasionally they get picked up by customs. And occasionally buyers order packages addressed to "Mike Hunt" at the abandoned house down the street, then hop up and down when their drugs don't arrive. All these things are an unavoidable part of doing business by mail, especially business in illegal substances.
It's hard enough soothing buyers whose packages are a bit late: now you're talking about dealing with five extra people a month whose orders went missing. That's a lot more work than just sending them the drugs in the first place. And it really doesn't add up to all that much extra money in the long run when you factor in the damage control and the buyers driven away by lost reputation.
I'm not saying scams or selective scams never happen. But I will say that many SR buyers put down to malice what can be attributed to the misfortunes of smuggling contraband.

I agree but if a refund rate is shown and one particular sellers has an significantly higher refund rate than others it means either their packages are not stealthy enough or they are selective scamming
Obviously parcels get lost so everyone will have a refund rate but its so you can choose between the seller with a 90% rate or the one with 10% in the same way a seller can choose to sell to a buyer with a 5% refund rate due to the same reasons you previously stated
