What is your reputation worth
Your reputation is everything you are on LDBidz - without it,
you’re nothing. Your reputation is worth as much as every sale
you will ever make.
If you’ve ever bought anything on LDBidz, then think about
your own behaviour. Buying from a seller
with a low feedback rating makes you feel a little nervous and
insecure, while buying from a seller with their reputation
in the thousands doesn’t require any thought or fear - it feels
just like buying from a shop.
A Bad Reputation Will Lose You Sales.
In fact, a bad reputation will lose you almost all your sales.
If someone leaves you negative feedback, you will feel the pain
straight away, as that rating will go right at the top of your
user page for everyone to see. Who’s going to want to do
business with you when they’ve just read that you “took a month
to deliver the item”, or that you had “bad communication and
sent a damaged item”? The answer is no-one.
Your next few items will need to be very cheap things, just to
push that negative down the page. You might have to spend days
or even weeks selling cheap stuff to get enough positive
feedback to make anyone deal with you again.
It’s even worse if you consistently let buyers leave negative
feedback - once you get below 90% positive ratings, you might as
well be invisible.
