Hello guys. I’m going to suggest adding some features again, other markets already have something similar.
As a seller i’m sick of new people that do not know how to use the gift cards they’re buying or that attempt to scam me and block my money in disputes for days. I would like to have the opportunity to filter my customers / select my customers. A new feature that can easily help all serious sellers and also clear up some time for your disputes resolution team to handle more important stuff would be adding an option for us as vendors to select that we only make that listing available to Gameflip users that have a minimum feedback / or number of already successful trades on Gameflip.
For example: I want an option to select to make my listings available only to Gameflip users with a minimum number or successful past transaction let’s say 10. If i select 10 no users under 10 previously completed deals can see my listings. If i select 100, I only sell my stuff to users with 100 successful previous Gameflip transactions and so on.
You can also add filter by country. If i sell some gift cards that work in USA i don’t want that just stated in the listing i only want ACTUAL people from JUST THAT COUNTRY to be able to see my inventory. If i want to sell to CHINA and i select CHINA only CHINA sees and so on.
I’m adding all these suggestions because every few days i’m dealing with disputes and all are from new accounts.
All of this will greatly ease the work of your disputes resolution team too and maybe even help you decrease the long number of days disputes take to get solved. Your team is clearly overburden.
Bump. Great suggestions upthread and no action had been apparently taken.
The ability to block zero feedback users is a must in any self-respecting marketplace, the more filters the merrier - let the sellers decide between high price/high risk and lower price/lower risk
One more easy idea is to mandatory display the seller’s country; buyers should have ability to know if they’re buying across the borders; besides the safety there are also legal reasons to do so.
This is interesting and relevant feedback. As a veteran Ebay seller I do understand the frustrations of buyers with zero feedback. Typically, these people have multiple accounts and continue to roll them over as they continue scams or similar.
Now, as I find myself a “noob” to a buying platform - here on GF - I am wondering what could I do to prove myself as a genuine buyer. Until my first few purchases, I had nothing. Nada. I did read the processes to ensure the sellers had their funds released after I completed my actions. But really, they were taking a chance on me.
Yes, automatically adding the country is helpful. I had to locate this option once I realised the sellers were not aware. Not everyone will look for it though I’m guessing.
Interesting topic and it should be discussed further. Without sellers, there cannot be buyers
