Title: Too many 'FE' feedbacks. Need to beable to edit feedback or something.
Post by: prettytempfornow on December 28, 2012, 06:52 pm
A lot of people Finalize Early. As soon as you do that you're presented with a feedback form. I see the majority of the feedback on many vendors say "FE" or "just FE" or "great communication. Just FE so far. I'll update when it arrives". You can't update. So if it never arrives the feedback can't reflect that.

*Solution:*
Either we can edit the feedback after package received. Or just stick a note in the feedback form textarea saying "fill this in when you receive the package".
That or you could make a "Finalize Early" button. FE is now a well established feature of the site, but is basically going against what the site's design suggests that you do (ie: finalize when the package arrives).

You absolutely can edit your feedback. Go to your account page and look on the right hand side.  See "edit feedback" link and go for it, The problem is we have tons of lazy ass buyers who never bother, thus undermining the feedback system.  It pisses me off. So, the solution is there - just need to figure out how to get idiots to use it.

And no FE button.  We aren't supposed to be doing it anyway - why make it easier?

Sorry, but this has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen posted on the Forum. Make a FE button! Well established feature of the site! FE is such a stupid and irresponsible decision made by a buyer that doesn't make any sense at all. Why would anyone pay a vendor for a product that hasn't arrived or worst still, has just been ordered when doing so completely goes against the guidelines set out by DPR to prevent buyers losing their coins. Silk Road has it's Escrow System in place for a reason, one being to protect the coins of a buyer should the package not arrive or not meet expectations. Don't let vendors suck you in and promise you the world just to get you to FE. Tell them NO, you won't be FE and if that was a problem, to cancel your order. Then look for another vendor who utilizes the Escrow System. There's heaps out there, plenty of good ones who will do the right thing by you and let you stay in Escrow, where you should be.

You are missing the point here.  ??? Buyers wouldn't need to return and edit their feedback if they STOPPED FINALIZING EARLY and wrote their feedback when the package is delivered and the order Finalized, thus releasing the funds to the vendor. It's the act of FE by buyers which is undermining the Feedback system on SR! If a buyer used Escrow, once their package arrives, he/she is able to inspect and perhaps taste the product which in turn will allow some accurate feedback on the product to be submitted. It's not so much buyers are lazy, it's that they haven't been bothered to follow some common sense guidelines put in place by DPR to protect their coins and prevent buyers being scammed.
