I have seen other websites where members can leave feedback on previous sales transactions and inquiry about sellers and buyers. Maybe a good idea to self patrol the classified section as there seem to have been some problems with sellers recently (Jason etc…)
Call it the BOI and set up a separate Forum. If you are happy with a transaction, drop a quick line referencing the username.
Just a thought.
no reason ST could start using heat or some of the other feedback things - no reason to build our own…
muscle?
Ahem…
I’m satisfied with using a user’s ebay feedback. I offer up my ebay id to prospective buyers as well as the names of other STrs with whom I’ve transacted. If a seller is willing to give me the same, I’m comfortable doing business with them.
It has always worked great - until this past week, I had my first issue.
No need to build something special, IMO.

You don’t have to build anything. What a lot of boards do that have classifieds, is the people that sell a lot of stuff start (in the classifieds) what they call a “Vouch thread”. If you have a good transaction, you post in that thread. BAd transaction, ditto.

only issue with using eBay is that some people don’t use eBay. I’ve sold a handful of items here, but nothing on eBay.
