This is for the Head Bartender, or other Mod...

I've noticed in eB@y, Neutral and Negative Feedback have thankfully, been eliminated. So, I'm wondering about a different aspect of our Classified Selling & Buying. In recent months, I've sold several camera bodies and lenses. The Shipments went to the USA, UK and Australia. Compliments were received from all Buyers on the packing, and I know that they are satisfied with the items purchased.

If I mark my Ad SOLD IT, it disappears. How then, to leave favorable comments?

In another case, I bought a camera body from an RFF member, and the shutter was dry. I had to do a CLA, which ran just over $100- with Shipping. My Seller was a real "mentsch," as we say in Yiddish, and he Refunded me $50- from the original transaction via PayPal. I went looking for the Ad, and couldn't find it :-(

The issue here among us, is one of Trust. To my way of thinking, there are very few [if any] RFF members who would deliberately "screw" their colleagues. Sure, there needs to be redress for the occasional gripe. I'd like to see a built in, post-sale vehicle here for the expression of Gratitude and Kudos.

Cheers, Mike
 
Classifieds -> Member List -> search for the user

That's what I use.

However, if the member does not have an ad (or when he marked it as sold), his profile will not show up. Then there is no way to leave a feedback as you can't get to the profile page.

Cheers,

Actually there is, though it's kind of a work around that's not completely obvious to non-computer people. If you can't find a person using the aforementioned method:

1) Hover your mouse over the person's username and remember the number after "u=". In your case, that would be "23167"

2) Append that number at the end of this link "www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost-classifieds/member.php/uid/", ie:

"www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost-classifieds/member.php/uid/23167"

Maybe barkeep can add this link to a member's profile so it's easier to find?
 
I've never bought or sold at RFF. Because I never buy or sell anyway.

But I would work on the principal that any name I 'knew' and who has been here for a time would be utterly trustworthy.
