Title: For us all that had to fe on our first purchase
Post by: dazedabyss on July 10, 2013, 05:24 pm
I notice in the vendor feedback hardly anyone goes back and updates they're had to fe feedback post. it would be good if we newbs would do this to maybe protect other newbs from scams, what do you think? I took the time to do it.
If you go back to your account page and click view feedback you can edit your feedback.

i wasn´t aware you could edit the orginal FE ranking/comment till earlier. so that is probably why people aren´t doing it. I agree it should be a must. specially after trying the gear to provide quality feedback

The first vendor I ever offered from threatened buyers to put them on a blacklist if they don't give him the 5/5 rating. I didnt know then that no one gives a shit about that list.  :)
And that was the main reason my review wasn't really honest.

I am a new vendor on SR - I encourage honesty - if you have a bad experience make sure people know!

that's why our feedback is so important and we need to take the time to go back and give an honest feedback that's how this place can get better and better and it also is good for sellers to see how they can improve.

It sucked having to fe for my 2nd purchase and not my 1st. Now I always weigh and sample the wares  before making any finalization or feedback. If I'm dissatisfied  usually I wont contact the seller, unless I"m a regular customer. I just leave less than  5 with the honest reason behind the rating.

Why is the feedback list worthless?

Lack of trust comes to mind first. To my minds way of thought, only after repeated dealings does a loose form of trust take shape.
After all the first few times out of the gate eyebrows will be raised due to status.

And really....Anyone can take advantage of another at least once. It will be remembered and possible actions may be taken, effective or not.

Nobody wants the short end.  But the ice must be broken somehow.

Motorskills: interesting take on this. Trust on a site like SR is a HUGE topic/concern.

you can go back and edit your feedback anytime you would like. some people just finalize with a 5/5 for recieving the product with "leave feedback here"
and then after they have tried or whatever they go back and comment on quality. IMHO if you recieved what you were supposed and stealth was good
you should leave a 5. you can always write in the txt what could have been better. but if you go around leaving bad feedback because it wasnt as
strong as you expected. vendors are not gonna sell to your username and you will have to start over.
