Welcome to the Trading Post Feedback Forum

This forum main purpose is to allow users to leave and find feedback feedback for other members.

Please try to be fair to other members. Think about your feedback before you leave it, and try to solve problems and communicate with the buyer/seller before leaving feedback.

Also this is not a discussion forum. Only post feedback for YOUR transactions with the member. Do not respond to other members posts.

Here's how it works :

1. First do a search for an existing feedback thread. :

Searching for Existing Feedback Threads

Click the "Search" button in the top right corner of the page.

Click "More Search Options"

A. The Right Way -- "Search by Keywords"

Using the "Search by Keywords" box limited to the Trading Post Feedback Forum will return any thread which contains the person's name in the thread title. This is what you want to use.

Under the "Search Where" box, click on the Trading Post Feedback Forum which is under "Community Interests". that way you are only searching in the Trading Post Feedback Forum.

B. The 'Wrong' Way -- "Filter by Member Name (optional)"

Avoid the "Filter by Member Name" box. This will only return results where the person you're looking for has started the thread themselves, which is not allowed. So someone searches this way, finds no results, and starts a new topic and that's basically how we get dupe threads here.

If you do not find a thread for a forum member :

2. Start the thread and then leave the first feedback for the member.

If you are starting a thread for a user who does not already have one, please use the members username as the title of the thread.

Correct:

JoeTrader

Incorrect:

JoeTrader's feedback thread
JoeTrader's feedback
JoeTrader is a lousy seller
etc.

Be sure to post enough information to be useful to other members.

Example :

QUOTE
JoeTrader

Bought a set of fresnels from JoeTrader. He shipped really fast and the fresnels were just as he described them. An excellent seller !!


You might also want to PM the member you are trading/buying/selling with and let them know you left feedback so they can return the favor.

And please don't start a thread for yourself. Ask someone you've dealt with to start it smile.gif

Dupe threads will be deleted with the information merged to the appropriate thread.

Hope this is helpful. Please pm me if you need help.

What is the procedure if the thread author used a subtitle indicating a good or bad experience that is inconsistent with the further feedback that you are leaving?

No subtitles are needed or to be used. It defeats the purpose.
I try to edit them out every once in a while.
