Title: Tip jar feature for sellers
Post by: whtrab on February 06, 2012, 10:44 pm
It would be nice to be able to tip a seller for really excellent service/product if one desired to really show the love.  I naturally leave positive feedback when appropriate (which has been the case with virtually all my dealings with SR so far), but the ability to drop a few extra bucks on a great vendor would be great.  I don't know that I'd expect a feature like this to rake in serious amounts of extra income (maybe the cost/benefit isn't there for the website folks), but it would be better than the zero amount you have with no feature.

Just send them the "tip."

You are correct, I hadn't noticed that transfer-to-another-SR member line on the account page before.  Thanks

keep the tipping idea, but attached to the feedback so other could see that who left the great feedback tipped to really show how great the service was, whether it shows how much was tipped, a vague amount [category A=10BTC+, B=5~10BTC, C=2~5BTC and D=0.1~2BTC tipping?] or just "tipped" under the 5/5.

id tip for great packaging, and if i had to post in the forums that i didnt get the item, then found it with some help [another thread, lol], THAT would earn a tip!

tips should be invisible and anonymous, like bitcoin should be.

your transactions are laundered and tumbled and the amount is not shown to anyone. same should go with tips. be safe, the block chain is public.

I would love a feature like this implemented. I often don't notice when people send me donations due to the high volume of sales in escrow that are being finalized at different times.
