The addition of the Trader Score system was an excellent step in making the Market Place a better trading ground. But I have found a couple of flaws in the system.
1. The Trader Score works totally independently. Like, a trader can say whatever he likes and give a score according to his bias.
For example, consider traffic accidents, most of the times none of the party admits mistake and both blame each other.
A scenario in Market Place could be, like somebody sold a computer system and now somehow the windows got corrupted and wasnt running well and the buyer blamed it on the seller and gave him a negative score. Or an electronics item sold in working condition and crapped after a couple of days, and the seller gets a negative score !
2. The Trader Score in actual works in addition and subtraction to the original score. Once, a negative mark is given, the trader score is -1, afterwards two positive marks are given and that makes the score +1. This could be very misleasding....
For example, someone who has stacked up a score of 6, now even after he has recieved 3 negatives marks, the original score still shows +3. And to the future trader, that's a good score, and he doesnt even know about the negative marks unless he checks it out in detail !
And also I have a couple of suggestions into remedying this..
1. A Moderator could listen to both sides and then decide what the appropriate score should be. Justice !
2. The Trader Score should show Positive and Negative scores separately....
What do you guys think, more importantly what do the Mods and Admin think ?
