Title: New rating system
Post by: rekline on February 27, 2012, 05:06 am
Hey, I think it would be helpful and reassuring to SR buyers if the rating system was broken down into categories.  Buyers would have the ability to rate sellers on specifics using a scale of 1-5.  These ratings could be averaged separately by category as well as combined for a total average.  Buyers would have access to categorical and combined averages, as well as access to the individual non-averaged categorical ratings given by each individual buyer.

Rating topics could include:

Quality of product
Shipping speed
Shipping stealth
Communication
Overall rating

With this method, users will have access to more in depth statistics in order to evaluate sellers.  Additionally, sellers will have greater incentive to step up there game and climb the ratings.  I'm not dissing SR sellers, but better service and quality is never a bad thing. 

Just my two cents.  Id love to hear yours

Thanks!! :)

Thanks, I checked out the link.  A new rating system indeed, but a different approach.  Wish they would consider combining both ideas.  I appreciate that SR is open to suggestions and always evolving

DPR obviously puts a lot of thought and heart into this site. This much is true.

As for the new rating system, I think it will be a better indicator for new buyers, less necessary (but still helpful) for experienced ones. I look forward to seeing it in action
