Reputation[/i]

I am going to open up the Reputation system for the Market place.

Basically when you trade/buy/sell with/from another user, you can add a point (or neutral, or subject) to their reputation.��

If you sold an item, you can say something like:

Great Buyer.��Sent money fast, no hassles, shipped him a Sorcerer.[/i]If you bought an item, you can say:

Great Seller. Recieved the Sorcerer, item as described![/i]Or in the case of a Trade:

I sent my item first, he received it, and sent his item. Traded with no hassle![/i]Or in the worst case scenario:

This Buyer/Seller/Trader screwed me! I sent money/my-trade-item and they didn’t send me anything.��They won’t return my PMs![/i]

Pretty straight forward.��If you have any disputes, PM an Admin so they can mediate.

You can only give one reputation to each user, but you can re-rate them to edit what you have rated before.��Users will get a PM when they receive a Reputation change.��

Any Questions? :hat off

Note:

If you are intending to buy/sell/trade anything in this forum please put your location in your post.  This saves everybody’s time as people then know whether they can post to you and vice versa.

Seller Guidelines

When selling in the marketplace it is a good idea to either have photographs of what you are selling, or failing that a clear description and link to a relevant photo in the wiki or stuff of legends website, so that people are clear about what it is that you are offering.

Clarity is also essential regarding the terms of sale.��If you are accepting the highest bidder then this should be made clear.��If you are simply going to sell to whomever PMs you first, then this needs to be made clear.

If there is a time limit, then this should also be made clear.��For example, if you are going to accept offers up to a certain closing off date, then you should make these facts clear.

It is considered good practice when selling items to go back and edit your post to reflect that something has been sold, so that people do not contact you unnecessarily.

Remember, that the goal of this section of the forum is to help people trade with other members.��The clearer you can make things, the better experience will be had by both you and your trading partners.
