point system needed 'a la ebay

bobm · **Posted: 21-09-2007 , 08:52 AM** #1

I have a suggestion for jumbletown:
To have a point (or other rating) system in place to rate jumbletowners at each transaction.
I had numerous times that an item was given away while I made arrangements to get to the item. You then feel very disappointed the giver done away the item. It shouldn't be turning into a road race to get to the item first!
I know that a giver can do as he/she pleases with the item and give it to the first or second or any person, but it would be nice to give some feedback online.
It is pretty harmless to have such a rating system and shouldn't have huge consequences after a bad rating but it can warn jumbletowners upfront to be aware they might get gazumped dealing with a particular jumbletowner.

Anyone with me?
