People on DT1 have a lot of control over their own trust rating.
Just add anyone that has left you positive trust to your network, making them DT2 and increasing your own trust. :/
The trust values on DT2 are a lot more realistic, since we can't boost our trust ratings this way.
This basically shows how flawed the trust system can be not to mention leaving trust ratings for people that bought stuff from you, they didn't have to risk anything and yet they still get a positive rating?
....
My policy as a seller is the customer is always correct ie I give a full refund zero questions asked.
Thus anyone that buys from me can say gear is broken I want a refund.
I also don't bother with returns on any gear under 100 bucks.
So this means buyers can easily lie and steal from me.
In all my sales done here over 100 of them I had to give only 3 refunds.
I refunded a mobo shipped to canada a cost of 170 usd and told the guy don't bother to return it. So all my buyers benefitted
from my policy. Since they were honest people treated respectfully by me.
And zero returns that is correct no returns not one. Not a single S-9, S-7 , S-5 , Avalon , S-3, S-1
1 hi end Gpu was never accepted in europe thus it was technically not returned by the buyer.
So because I encourage honesty from my buyers I actually get honesty from them.
That is why I do it my way.
But I no longer give trust to people just feedbacks if the deal was good and I am not putting anyone on my trust list for the next few months .
