Ratings below accepted threshold

[Seeds for Africa 10]

Hi

 

Maybe a silly question, but as I understand it users with ratings below 70% should be blacklisted. I had a buyer with 30% ratings buy from me. Judging by when she received her last rating its been at this percentage for 10 days. Surely the system should automatically disable a user when their ratings fall below 70%. Is there a reason that this doesnt happen?

 

Thanks

I second this. In fact, when I check out my bidders and if they are under 80% (it happens very seldom, thank goodness) I delete their bid and explain the reason as given by other sellers in that bidder's ratings.

Hi Gamu I was also under the impression that under a percentage created an automatic "disabled". Could it be that it only works on sales ratings?

No, mellowred, it definitely applies to buyers, too. It just needs to be reported to communitywatch@bidorbuy.co.za. Occasionally one of these slips under the net and we need to help the BoB staff! lol

We do not automatically disable - ratings are often manipulated by sellers and buyers alike. So we look at the whole picture before doing this, if there is a problem you can contact the customer support or security team to take further immediate action. We check ratings on a regular basis via reports but ratings go up and down all the time, depending on the users involved.

Thanks Cuan. Understood!
