Basilmarket feedback thoughts?

Doesn't it annoy you when you do a basilmarket trade and the other person never leaves feedback?
It's like, I get 1 feedback for every 10 trades I do. I think basil should implement a system where if you don't leave feedback, you should be banned from posting for a week.

Yes I care. Basilmarket system is posts are based off on how much feedback you have, so sometimes having 20 feedback isn't enough for a long discussion.

@Aeronomx: lmao probably are some trolls mixed in there with legit offers. Like the ones that offer but you never see them again

@ox0Shad0w0xo: Wow, all of nowhere everyone with forever alone +0 feedback is messaging me about my capes on auctions and making bids.
Don't know if some are trolling but hard to tell.

@richboyliang In that case though you can just negative feedback on them if they didn't cancel lol. I agree about the auto feedback though.

@Aeronomx Yeah I would be one of those pm you an offer people (forever +0 feedback) And you're right a safe guard is nice, but for some people it's obvious that's not why they canceled lol.

@ox0Shad0w0xo: I like that safe guard though, sometimes I forget to put sniper protection and it's noticeable the last 5 minutes when someone places a bid I don't get the 10 minutes back on the timer. Plus the auctions glitches from time to time and the auctions usually ends earlier because the server.
Sometimes I get offers via pm because people don't have +5 feedback to continue bidding constantly.

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]I think feedback is the least of the problems with auctions lately. Too many people abusing the way the auction system works. Start an auction then cancel it last minute because it was going to end at a price they didn't like or they were just trying to get offers for the item. That's not the way auctions should be done. Auctions have gone downhill in both activity and proper trades.[/quote]

that happens a little but most people aren't paying that much attention to their own auctions and just don't respond when they don't like the winning price.

and OT i too get annoyed when people don't leave feedback after a successful trade. it should really auto-positive feedback the other person and either withhold their own feedback or auto negative

No, instead there should be a feedback penalty. Forget 5 times and you lose a +1?

[quote=Aeronomx]I always leave negative feedback when they troll for items they don't possess and I win the auctions.
Such as this item, http://www.basilmarket.com/show/auction/16189220/Maple_Story_Cursed_Kaiserium.html
This basiler what has this item for sale is a known troller when it comes to putting items for sale. I still like to bid on them though, for a good laugh.[/quote]

Basilmarket's been dead in terms of trade for a while now

Is it me, or does it seem that Basilmarket has become less of a trading site, but more of a social site? o.o
