User trading feedback section?

[Mux213]

I agree with Widar, we are all good guys, so far nobody's screwed another over (except maybe me with still not having found my shuto trials 1 VCD..)

I think we need to remind ourselves what we are here. We are a forum with AE86 enthousiasts, not a trading site, we're not frigging ebay. Buying/selling things on the forum is a pretty open business that only happens sporadically, you'd hardly have enough volume in reactions to get a good rating system going. Very often people selling something are one time sellers anyways...

Besides, as people buy things from other people on the forum are very public so people will tent to react openly about their experiences. If someone screws around that person will quickly get a rep that will stick with that person.

What I am much more interesting in is hearing about peoples experiences with shops they order from. When I order something from T3 or paradise racing I want to know who I am dealing with and hearing from other members about this is great. Those threads are being started in forums we already have and that is great (that way I learned to just be patient with Luis from Paradise Racing, his stuff is good, he can be just very slow and emails dont always arive).

In the same way it has been very open with the stuff we've gotten through JonT to name but an example, we all know about the trouble he's had with shipping the fiberglass parts, we also have heard the succes stories with other tidbits he's gotten for me and others from Japan.

I'm sure once people on here start telling about their experiences with, say ToyCoolRolla, we'll know whether he has good products and how fast he ships aswell, the community is small enough for that.

Bottom line is, I think its overkill to rate people on this site, we simply dont have enough trading going on for that and the discussions are currently more then open enough already. Aslong as we mods make sure nobody starts flamewars on here because he had a bad experience with a seller we should be fine
