Member feedback and transaction reports related to buying, selling, or trading through AMARN, intended to document experiences and promote transparency.
What is this category for?
This category is dedicated to post-transaction feedback related to activity in the Classifieds and Want to Buy sections.
It includes:
-
Buyer and seller feedback after completed transactions
-
Documentation of communication, shipping, and item condition
-
Reports of positive, neutral, or negative experiences
-
Resolution updates where issues were addressed
The purpose is to inform other members, not to adjudicate disputes.
How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?
-
Unlike Classifieds or Want to Buy, this category is retrospective, not transactional.
-
Unlike Vendors & Manufacturers, it focuses on individual member interactions, not businesses (unless a transaction occurred).
-
Unlike General Discussion, posts here should be specific, factual, and experience-based.
-
Unlike Moderation, this category does not function as an appeals or enforcement channel.
This category answers how a transaction went, not what is being offered.
What should topics in this category generally contain?
Feedback posts should include:
-
Username(s) involved in the transaction
-
Type of transaction (buy/sell/trade/commission)
-
Brief factual summary of what occurred
-
Outcome (completed, resolved, unresolved)
-
Photos or documentation where relevant (optional)
Feedback should be fact-based and non-inflammatory. Personal attacks, speculation, or hearsay are not permitted.
Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?
Yes, this category is necessary and should not be merged.
Sales Feedback serves a distinct trust and accountability function by:
-
Creating a transparent transaction history
-
Encouraging good behavior in the marketplace
-
Helping members make informed decisions
Merging it with Classifieds would dilute both functions and complicate moderation.
