Feedback: Beer Trading Feedback System

I've gone back through the threads to see if I've missed something about this, but I can't find it addressed. As far as getting references/feedback on past trades, isn't this set up, really, to only get feedback on good trades? I still have an outstanding bad trade that I don't know what to do with: I'm not going to contact the guy and ask for him to set up a trade so I can give him feedback as a bad trader, right? The last time I tried putting up a thread about him, it was deleted, maybe because it was my second thread about him? The real question is: how do I provide feedback on a bad trade that occurred before the current system was in place?

 

Thank you Sir.

 

How do you report a bad trader now?

 

Fair enough, but how do I leave feedback now? I doubt I'm going to get him to respond to a request for a trade at this point.

 

Once someone leaves me feedback how long do I have to leave it for them? I was able to ship 2 packages and then I had to go to work. My wife told me my packages arrived but I've yet to be home to examine the bottles and leave feedback for the BA members.

Todd - the alert is looking good!

One small thing - shouldn't the alert only be for things that we need to respond to? Right now I have a "2" above my Trading item, and it's doing that because I have two trade requests I put out that have not been accepted. In other words, I'm waiting on the other people and I don't need to be alerted to that.

 

I have a trade feedback pending, but I try to click on it and it doesn't go anywhere. It says accepted, but on the right side it stills says pending. Help?

 

I'm experiencing this as well. Do you have to give feedback in order for the alert to go away?

 

@Todd - is there a reason for the trading comment character limit? I'm trying to give decent amount of details about trades, but I get the message that it must be between "x" and "x" characters. Would love to be able to leave more info on why someone was a good or bad trading partner - most times it's very difficult to leave a small amount of feedback. Expanding the character limit would help here tremendously.

 

I agree. It doesn't even need to be that much more. Maybe up it from 140 to 200?

 

I had 2 trades pending in the system this morning (just waiting to receive my beer before giving feedback rating), and now I don't have any trades pending.

 

this happened to me too, my pending trade is gone? do i have to request new trades now?
