iTrader?

[DKPalmer]

Hello. I am new here and am trying to purchase a website from another member. The member said he is looking to sell to only people with positive iTrader. What does this mean? I would really like to buy the website but I don't know how. Also what does it matter to him if i have positive iTrader as long as I send the money and he gets it ok? Thanks for the help

He probably means he wants to deal with members that have positive feedback, if look under a members name, you'll see something that says "trader rating", click on that and you should see the transactions that the member has been involved in....the website seller is probably looking at that!.

If you're really wanting to buy the site and you don't have any trader ratings, why don't you ask him to sell you the website, and use escrow.com for the financial transaction?.

It can take years to build a good reputation and members feel more at ease if they are dealing with members whom have proved they are honest, reliable and professional. It is not fail safe and I would never say do deals based on this alone as like everything in life you need to look at the whole picture when doing any transactions but it is something I check with every deal and some members I just know I dont even need to check this now they have proved themselves already

But yes I would suggest until you build on this offer to use Escrow and begin to build your reputation :tu:

Good luck and welcome to Namepros

Nice to see you as a new member. Look at iTrader kind of like feedback on ebay. That is probably the best way to explain it if you have ever used ebay before. After each transaction on this forum, it is common practice to submit feedback. If you felt everything went smoothly, you would leave positive feedback. If you had a problem with the transaction and are not satisfied with the outcome, you would leave negative feedback. The idea is that this will warn people in future transactions about issues people have had with you in the past.

Thanks for the info guys. I understand a buyer wanting to make sure the seller has a good rating, but not the opposite I guess. I just figured as long as he got my money he could then push the website to me. I understand using an escrow as well, but this was a $20 domain. Anyway thanks again, I'm slowly learning the ropes.
