Sneakerlisting allows buyers and sellers to rate one another after each transaction. Only the buyers and sellers who have engaged each other through a listing can rate. For example, as a shopper, the only way I can rate a seller is if I was once selected as the buyer for a listing by that seller. Same goes for the seller, the only way he can rate me as a buyer is if I have been selected by him as the buyer for one of his listings. This ensures the integrity of the rating system and prevents false and random ratings.
How it works for buyers - A seller of a particular listing can have multiple message threads active at the same time, given them the opportunity to feild interest from different people. If you have been selected as the buyer for the listing, you will immediately see a lit-up star icon on that listing in your Shopping Panel. Clicking on that icon will take you to a rating page where you can rate the seller and also submit a breif review on his/her performance for this specific transaction. There is a guide on the rating page to remind you of some of the things you should think of when rating someone.
How it works for sellers- Not only do we value the reviews of sellers from buyers, Sneakerlisting is also concerned about buyer-etiquette. As a seller, once you have selected a buyer, you will see lit-up star icon on that listing in your Sales Center. There you will be able to submit a rating and review on the performance of the buyer for transaction of that specific listing.
The rating and review system is an extremely useful tool for sneaker collectors. When authenticity is the name of the game, this is our way of helping the community in weeding out those who sell fakes. Your average rating will be displayed next to your name on every listing you post, and clicking on your name will take you to your complete history where everyone can see your past reviews. Hence, your rating shows the world your credibility as sneaker trader.
