Feedback Report (Narc) on a Flaker/Ghoster

I really don't see the benefit of this. I think possibly loosening the negative feedback requirements a smidge would be sufficient. I've never had to leave negative feedback, but have seen some others told to leave neutral feedback when I felt a negative mark was deserved. (No - I don't have examples).

Maybe run stats on the most ignored users LOL because I use that button. Would be nice if there were options giving a reason why you're ignoring someone.
Ignored for reason - related to classifieds. Give them a badge after they rackup a few. It would be more organic and automated. "Classifieds Nuisance".
 
If offers were presented in a more concise way it may solve the whole DM thing.

A button that basically says “I agree to this price” If you press it you’re obligated to complete the purchase or risk negative scoring in a rating system.

Same for sellers. If they want to alter the price, they can change it, then introduce the formal offer. A similar notification on their side would say “are you sure you want to sell for this price?” And if they click yes, that’s that.

Both parties are still free to back out, but the rating hit or an account lock will be the cost to play that game.

An option for mutual exclusion of the rating hit could be a thing too. This is for unforeseen circumstances like people have listed, provided both parties agree.

You can back out on gunbroker and eBay, but not before receiving a negative feedback or having your account locked.

Yeah, I was thinking it might just be a simple as a button that each of you click to agree in the DM. That’s it. but there’s no date restriction. It just keeps the log of what you clicked it and what you backed out, or if you backed out it really might be just that easy
