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:
-
free escrow - trades will now secure funds from the buyer and be held in trust for the seller, pending buyer satisfaction.
-
trades now have a deadline date whereupon the buyer can opt to render the trade into dispute should the seller not come through
-
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.
-
the old star rating system was confusing and has been replaced by colour assisted, universally accepted, r1 sanctioned icons.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
