iTrader is a feedback system for sales/trades on this forum. Click on the number under a member's name in a thread and you can get an idea of what it's about.

plantpoints are for the Petz (eg my Unicorn). We're planning a contest for members to earn a Pet soon so stay tuned

The ratings are a system set up so that a Buyer/Seller or Trader can rate the member(s) involved in a transaction originated on APC.

There are three ratings:

1. Positive- Seller sent your items on time and the items were as represented. Buyer paid on time. Communications between both parties was smooth.

2. Neutral - Seller sent item(s) that are not as represented or if item(s) were sent late with little to no communication. Buy did not pay in a timely manner. Communications between the parties was poor.

3. Negative - Buyer or Seller did not live up to their obligations.


How ratings effect overall score.

Each rating carries a different point value.
Positive +1
Neutral 0
Negative -1

All members start with a rating 0 / 0% The first number signifies the quantity of transactions that others have rated for the member. The percentage rating is a quality rating.

For example:

Member_1 sells goods to Member_2. There are no problems at all and both leave a positive rating and feedback for the other. For each it is their first transaction.

Both would now show 1 / 100%

Member_2 also buys an item from Member_3 and there are issues. Member_2 leaves Member_3 a negative rating. Member_3 leaves positive feedback as the issue was not the doing of Member_2

Member_2 would now show 2 / 100%

Member_3 1 / 0%

Member_3 buys goods and receives a positive rating, their new rating would be 2 / 50%

Neutral Ratings do not effect the total percentage
