The Breitling Watch Source Forums

In an effort to improve the "buying and selling experience" (especially in light of all the recent discussions concerning who may or may not be trustworthy, etc, etc), I had a quick chat to Admin and we came to the conclusion that slightly formalising the way we use the Feedback forum would be a good idea.

Therefore, (and this is just a suggestion, but might be a good idea if we all adopted it) can everyone who conducts a transaction with a member on here just write a quick feedback post (in the Feedback Forum, obviously!) for the person concerned please.

I know a lot of this goes on anyway, but if we just formalise it a little it'll help others see who is trustworthy, who maybe isn't, and who simply hasn't made a transaction here yet. That way, prospective buyers can do a quick search of the person's name and get info from people who have had first-hand experience.

We also think it'd be a good idea to have a standard naming convention for feedback post titles to make searching easier -

Put the name of the person, followed by "Trusted Seller", or "Trusted Buyer", or "Problematic", or something similar. (e.g. "Driver8 - Trusted Buyer")

As and when I get the time I'll use my "Powers of Modification" to update a few of the existing Feedback Forum titles to reflect this naming convention.

Thanks all!

Great idea.

Great Driver8....Some quick action on the lines I was thinking of, it will prove a great help when buying/selling to members.

Well credit where credit's due. Much as I hate to acknowledge Driver8 in any way, according to the Moderator Logs he has indeed updated a "few" of them.


74 to be exact



Thanks Driver8!

It was a quiet day in the office yesterday!

Well yes I've updated the titles on those that specifically gave feedback and generally left the rest alone. Hopefully it'll help prospective buyers vet their sellers a little easier.

Both of you, Driver and Roff are doing great job.

Thanks Bnewbie! But it's also a testament to the maturity of 99.9% of the membership that means the mod work that Admin, Roff and myself have to undertake is kept to a minimum.

And while we're slapping-each others backs, you Bnewbie are doing a truly great job clearing all those bl&@dy fakes off eBay!

Thanks, Driver.

I know this announcement thread is a bit old now, so this post might get lost here; but could someone advise if its OK to list feedback on sellers and buyers from other forums? I've noticed others asking about the credentials of buyers from another forum, so maybe this is alright. If a rule hasn't been decided, perhaps it might be OK if the sale was for a Breitling watch, not matter where that occurred. However, my considered opinion is that we are all likely to float around amongst the many forums, so information about good or bad trades would be welcome irrespective of the forum, site or watch brand.

Feedback on any buyer or seller is welcome.

Thanks.

Great Job guys.....
