Get 'em Shel!

What's the statute of limitations on requesting Feedback from trades?

I had that happen in a couple of deals but never worried about it on the Realms (except for the individual we all know I'd like to boot in the head)...whoops, and just realized I made a sale a few days ago and never rep'd the person...OH CARP!!!

*runs to User CP*

Hmmmm, I would say none, as long as you both remember the trade well enough to feel comfortable leaving the feedback.

Thats part of the problem. Noone should have to wait so long that the other party can't remember the trade. Its really rude. Of course, I'm not pointing any fingers, I'm just making a point.



It happens sometimes, a slip of memory is normal. But when you drag your heels after someone has repeatedly asked you for your rightly deserved feedback, then you're on thw wrong side of the tracks buddy. This has been happening waaaayy too much here and its high time it stopped.

[/Steps off of soapbox] Thanks for listening.

I say get right back up on that soapbox and keep preaching, sister. I know there are at least 4 or 5 trades from which I've never received feedback. It may seem trivial to some, but the whole point of the system is to help those of us who frequent this area to have some idea of who we are dealing with on trades. Plus it can really help newcomers to the trading grounds so they learn the proper etiquette from the "greybeards" here.

With all due repect to you, Shel, I have to disagree with these two.

I very rarely send first these days, but I will not leave feedback for the other trader until I know he or she has received my end of the trade and is happy with the full transaction.

I'm certainly not waiting for their feedback first, but I am waiting to make sure they've received what they were owed and that they are satisfied with it. Just my opinion and many may disagree.

I, in fact, do so, so I guess we are in agreement!

Yo Joe!

Soap box be damned...it's about time these people got a kick in the butt to start doing things right around here.

Hmm.. Heres a senario...

Someone sends first. You send. You leave + feedback. Now one of the following happens:

DC shows it was delivered. PErson claims they didn't get it.
Person says figure x is missing.
Person says figures are substandard because of this or that reason.

Now you try and work something out but they will not be satisfied with anything you feel is reasonable. They are becoming beligerent and you have to get a mod involved. A solution comes about that both find acceptable but both are upset by the transaction. 2nd trader sure does not feel a positive trade has happened and now 1st trader doesn't either..

Feedback, I feel, is a complete transaction, not just one peice.. Positive feedback should reflect one thing- Base on the trade how would you feel about doing it again with the person..

Just one man's O pin yon..

Where's the feedback for our trade, Shel?

Sometimes I dont leave feedback if it has been our 10th or so trade. To me they are just as good as the were the last 8 times I left them feedback, so I stop singing their praises after awhile. They usually do the same for me. My feedback score would be the same, but 30 or 40 higher in total number if all the same traders I have worked with left feedback for me ever single time.

I know what you are saying, though. If the traders want it left they might have to ask for it to be left. Sometimes it gets overlooked! Sometimes its just laziness.

I asked a question and I am not sure if it directly related to feedback but It has a big part so I was wondering if someone would answer as nothing ever got said.

If you sell an item to someone with a higher feedback then you, do you have to send the figure before they pay?

I only ask as when I was looking to sell stuff on the Realms, the sale thread said all rules are basically the same as on the trade threas.

Sorry if this is the wrong place/thread, but I was very interested to know.
