Site Suggestion: Buyer/Seller Score/Feedback

[Case]

Something that would be relatively simple to implement would be a buyer/seller score. Just a simple number stored in the User data. So if a person has either bought or sold an item on site they would gain reputation points. To allow others to know its safe (or safer them most) to deal with them.

This idea would seem to fit the overall feel of the site. The site is somewhat restrictive in nature to prevent the bad, but it would go one step further to promote the good.

If something likes this already exists, please forgive my ignorance.

Thank you for the suggestion, Case. Sorry it was overlooked.

I'm not the software guru, but I suspect that there probably isn't a function like that built into the forum software we use, so it would be difficult to implement. What we do offer is a Testimonials section:
Advertisements for Newts & Salamanders - Testimonials at Caudata.org Newt and Salamander Portal
It's not as well organized as a feedback system, but it does give people the chance to recommend sellers that have done a good job.
