Trades v2 is here!

Rewards1 News & Announcements
#1

welcome to our new trade system, version 2! we’ve recently revised trades to address deficiencies AND added some much needed features, which will hopefully boost buyer confidence and the community marketplace!

our new system makes it clearer to create, track, review, and resolve trades. (in theory. as always, please report all bugs :)) some of the new things you’ll find:

  1. free escrow - trades will now secure funds from the buyer and be held in trust for the seller, pending buyer satisfaction.

  2. trades now have a deadline date whereupon the buyer can opt to render the trade into dispute should the seller not come through

  3. disputes are settled by staff, subject to service fee, and all decisions are final. both parties will be asked to supply evidence to support their case, so please remember to save/document all essential trade details.

  4. the old star rating system was confusing and has been replaced by colour assisted, universally accepted, r1 sanctioned icons. fyi, old ratings have been converted over.

we hope you like the changes, and we hope they will move the trade community in a giant positive step forward :slight_smile:

Is their a way to link a particular transfer(transaction number) in the trade center? As someone might transfers you points outside of escrow and you both still want to get trade rated.

Also what if you make a mistake on the trade and want to cancel it as the sender? =/

Awww I liked the star system where you can choose 1-5 stars.

Can we have a comment option in this system?

Suggestion: Can you add an auto calculation for the 3% fee, So you can estimate while you fill it out?

or like a check box that say:

“:white_check_mark: sender pays fee”
“:heavy_check_mark: receiver pays fee”

Would love to have this, I often either send over or under the amount of points that should have been sent (it is particularly annoying when you are one point out. :p)

Having the comment system back would be great too. :slight_smile:

I am 100% with Tourne on this, we need some kind of notification system that says who gets what, and if that end was completed. My first trade with this should have taken 2 minutes ended up taking 20 because we couldn’t figure this thing out.

trade comments and more clarity on who receives what are great ideas.

stay tuned :smiley:

I like the new trades, (Though I didn’t use the old ones :3 ) Though it’s weird, As soon as I clicked ‘Accept Trade’ it withdrew the points, I think there should be something like where you have to re-type your password to accept a trade, Just my opinion. :smiley:

we’ve updated trades to address some of the problems brought up, let us know how you like it :slight_smile:

There seems to be a bug, I just tried to accept a trade (and reject) but was not able to. Apparently I did not have the “privilege” to do so? Fix would be appreciated, thanks. :slight_smile:

Hi gunsforhands,

This should be fixed now, thanks for reporting :wink:

As someone who spends hours daily on other forums such as bitcointalk weeding out scammers and pushing people to use escrow, I approve of this change a lot.
