I don't do many trades but I would love to have a trade tracker to keep track of the few that I do make.
Regarding "feedback" - Instead of Trade Feedback where back and forth public posts could turn negative and possibly get out of hand (as I've heard happens on other forums) I prefer the idea of just having the
icon type rating. If I was considering a trade with someone and saw that another member had left a thumbs down icon I could contact via tree-mail the person who left that rating and inquire as to why they left that particular rating and then make my decision as to whether I wanted to move forward with a trade.
It's important to have a relationship of good communication with your trade partner before any deal is finalized to be sure that both parties are clear as to what is expected. I realize that life throws us all a few curve balls sometimes but communication is so important in any transaction. If I made a trade that the other person felt was not equitable or not up to what was originally expected I'd hope they would tree mail me and give me a chance to make it right and if I didn't make it right to their expectations then I would deserve one of the
or
icons and would live with the consequences.
