I am still noob to Trust thing.

how exactly does this Trust works ?

Here's how it works:

When someone scams another person, the victim can make themselves feel better by leaving the scammer Negative trust.

That forces the scammer to make or buy a new account for their next scam.  It's harsh, but fair.

To better their scamming abilities, creative scammers can make multiple accounts and give themselves Positive trust.

This is all highly ironic because if a reliable trust system was possible, we wouldn't need Bitcoin (which ingeniously replaced the unworkable, Byzantine trust schemes with proof of work).

The system helps make good decisions, you can see how left the trust rating so if it's newbies and unknown traders you take it into account.

Yes actually i was busy since i joined so haven't been looking into all this, had a trade with a guy in start and thus added him in trusted feedback, Just got to know all about it , i can actually see the world better now Wink

Trusted feedback needs to be done by trusted members to be valuable feedback. You have to consider the experience of the member too : if he is an hero with positive feedback or a Senior Member that is doing a lot of trades and their password have not been changed recently (you see that on his trust rating page) you can quite safely send first up to 0.3.
For bigger trades, use an escrow or make multiple trades of 0.3

Yeah thanks... am good with trades and all
Just this Trust thing was confusing me since i didn't had defaultrust , now i changed my settings to defaulttrust and all is good Smiley
