Any place to find this kind of information?

Mar 03, 2010

Hi,

I was wondering if there was anywhere on this site that shares information on the different feedbacks that are given to renters/rentees or sellers/buyers. I think it would be helpful if members can share their experiences with specific people and share how their transactions went. Information like "MemberX provided prompt feedback" or "transaction went smooth and professional with the renter". Kind of like the feed back you leave on EBay after a transaction. You might get repeat customers with this kind of information.

It would be just another precautionary measure when dealing with pricey transactions. Is there a list of members that have a bad reputation on this site? or is that kind of information too difficult to keep track of considering the multitude of ways to get around the blacklist?

Just Curious

Hi Bill,

The thought has been that, in most cases, our users only have a single timeshare and so they don't have much activity to build a reputation from. Then the brokers, who do have a lot of volume, would potentially be at an advantage... new users would be unknowns. So the thought was to look for ways to make the transaction itself safer, rather than relying on the user reputation.

Thank you, Marty

We could look at the score, not the total amount of feedback. We definitely need something.
