I got bored so I went through and found all Quintuple Gold Star traders with truly perfect 100% trade scores. What does that mean? Well, take someone like bill . On the surface, he looks like a great trader, 597 rating at 100% from 735 trades with 620 different traders. Impressive! But wait, when you click on the 100%, you see for Speed and Courtesy, bill is actually only a 99.9%. Shame on you, you slow, rude boy!

Instead, we will look at the truly shining examples that are 100% across the board

IIRC correctly, if you do multiple trades with a user, only your most recent feedback counts. So go make an offer with those people that did not give you 100% and have a second shot!

That's actually where my negative rating came from. Had a poor experience so tried trading again. It went worse.

is it possible to not rate someone? You have 1241 unique trades so 7 didn't rate? Or does it really end at 1234. I've clicked several people's names haven't found one as high yet.

Trades can be deleted. I believe I have one less feedback than trade.

If Bill had to mark a trade complete on the other user's behalf (they left the site or whatever) then it won't get a rating.

Or if you have active trades with someone you traded with before I think that temporarily disables those ratings since the system only counts the latest rating and its now in the pending state again.

from what I gather, N/A means not applicable. Like a digital transaction. So they tried to give you a bad rating but really didn't give you a rating at all.

That's actually really dumb because I literally listed the reason which was the item was lost in the mail so speed didn't apply (as in NOT APPLICABLE, or "N/A"). We filed insurance for the item and it was paid. It's actually a TRUE rating because the item never made it, but the other two excellent ratings are applicable.

It would be really dumb to rate a user's speed based on how long it took the post office to deliver (or not deliver).

I would think speed of responding to messages, speed of sending (after trade penned or after receiving depending on terms of the trade).

The one aspect of a trade a user doesn't have control over is what happens once the package in possession of the courier.

Fully agree - but in the context of the trade, the item was sent, lost in transit by USPS, and never arrived. I'd think it's fair for the buyer who purchased the item, saw tracking in the agreed upon time, but never received the item to leave a N/A because the speed is not applicable as it never arrived due to being lost. He still left an excellent for the other two fields as I worked with him and helped him get the insurance claim filed, but I understand why he would leave the N/A. I wasn't arguing the reason he left the N/A, just the fact that Kommie said "So they tried to give you a bad rating but really didn't give you a rating at all." I don't consider the "N/A" to be a bad rating - on top of it, the buyer left the context in the rating comment.

If you have anything like a "World's Greatest Dad" mug or something like that, you need to return it to your children and explain why you are not worthy of such a mug.

It is acceptable to keep this mug if you have it, as long as you are a right-handed drinker.
