Tony's GOOD and TRUSTED sellers list
There seem to be several posts floating around about bad experiences with scammers, and about introducing a feedback forum to discourage them.
How about taking the opposite tack and listing the GOOD and TRUSTED sellers on the forum. A good reputation is hard to maintain whereas a poor rep is easily shed, just get another login...
for instance (and I am sure the guys won't mind) my experiences so far are.
TTexige - unused detachable towbar - cheque
Damocell - Goodridge braided brake pipes - paypal
tolster - Samco intercooler Y pipe - cheque
subarujimmy - roof bars - paypal
stevo1970 - Prodrive back box - cheque
starship impreza - 2 port boost solenoid - paypal
scoobymoz - 4 pot caliper anti squeal shims - paypal
Morpheous - V1.5 low mileage short block - COC
Houghton - OEM backbox – COC
Terzo320 - gearbox - COC
Terzo320 - front calipers - COC
type25 – OEM exhaust system – cheque to secure then COC
All items received with no fuss, all exactly as described and I have the contact details.
Please feel free to add your own POSITIVE experiences. But positive only. This thread will serve no purpose if it turns into a whinging/slanging match.
If you have had an issue with anyone on the list, please do not post but PM me and I will edit them from the list.

Also, it only needs one member to join in, who received something from a massive p*ss-taker to undermine the value of others comments...

feed back posts are all well and good untill soemthign goes wrong and it turns into a slagging match which 99% of the time threads, let alone sections of the forum, on here end up like and get locked.
theres even been underhand tactics by tuners on here to get bad reputations for other tuners.

Guys, it's worth noting that ScoobyNet will very shortly have a Trader Feedback system installed. This will allow you to rate sellers (or buyers) on your transactions.
As long as everyone only posts their positive experiences. At least it will be a guide to who may be trusted to deliver.

a person might end up with 3 good experiance. but hidden behind the scenes they could be 3000 warning posts.
if you do it you have to have both sides od the story and have option for both good and bad reports.
also it needs to be constructive. too many posts become slagging matches and what should be held behind closed door becomes public where rumours, inccorect statements and some times down right lies end up becoming the believe truth, despite it being complete tosh.
i don't think anyone would aobject to constructive critasism, tuner or private person. problem is it is very very rarley constructive on here and when so still ends up in a slagging match due to people and vendeta's

The problem is most searches will only turn up the wrong uns, who then change their login and carry on regardless. What about the sellers who get it right? They never get a mention.
This post was intended to list my positive experiences only, and any one elses positive experiences if they wished. Not to discuss the relative merits of any feedback system we may or may not have. This is off topic and there are many posts on those topics already. My last word on the subject. Until I add another good seller to my list .

No feedback system will be perfect and it will always, I repeat, ALWAYS be a case of let the buyer beware!
They do, however, give you a chance to make a somewhat more informed decision, rather than have to try and "dig up the dirt" on someone before buying something off them. In the time it takes you to do that, the bargain that you wanted might have been snapped up by someone willing to take the chance.
You'll just have to use your judgment when interpreting the feedback, positive and negative, as you might before using a trader! If someone has no feedback and is a newbie, then, well, you take a chance by doing business with them, and that's all there is to it!
In the context of a bulletin board, we provide some forums in which you can trade stuff, we cannot and will not ever warrant any transactions.
The webteam is always saddened to learn of people getting ripped off, but there is usually very little we can actually do about it after it happens. The feedback system is just SN trying to do what we can to avoid the trade forums being abused by unscrupulous individuals in the first instance. How you use it, is up to you and -as said above- the rule of buyer beware will always apply.

Since stu published the updated T&Cs for SN the rules on what constitutes acceptable trader conduct have been significantly clarified and made more transparent. Conduct that may have before simply been frowned on, but was not explicitly outlawed in the rules for whatever reason, is now covered. I think EVERYONE is now very clear that posting spurious feedback about competitors is NOT acceptable under any circumstances.

It should be the same as NASIOC, if you leave a + or - feedback for the seller/buyer it asks you to link the thread of the transaction before any feedback is left, which I thinks a good on, so no one can start hitting good or mainly bad if they don't like the the seller/buyer.

Tidgy, if we're thinking about the same thing, the tuner in question made a public apology to the board and to those unfairly criticised in their original comments. They didn't exactly "get away with it". Their "punishment" for want of a better word, was the trade they would have lost from individuals like yourself at the time, who found the incident highly distasteful.

I'd like to think me, myself and I, for car parts I have sold and also the artwork I currently do for members.
Had good experiences with...
Madhammer - Spoiler
T5OLF - Door handles
Actually thinking now, I've had allsorts off here for suspension, hoses, mudflaps, but can't for the life of me remember the sellers. The feedback forum would imho be a good idea. Will need tweaking and will be abused unfortunately, but if caught early and tweaks are made, I see it being an overall useful function.

I've had a look at some of the things people have listed that they have sold, door handles, mudflaps, hoses. Things that a lot of us have lying around.
I'm not trying to be negative, but a feedback system could be used against us.
Say, a newbie sells some cheap parts he has in the garage, ie, the above I mentioned.
Then he lists for sale something that costs £200-£300. People see positive feedback for 6 or 7 transactions and think its an honest guy, next thing someones out of a lot of cash.
The only way we will fix this problem on our site is to stop people with a post count below 200/300 etc selling goods on here.
