I am trying to leave positive trade ratings for other members that I just bought parts from. I read the rules and I did not see anything about the trade rating system as far as new members are concerned.

Is there some reason why I do not have permission to leave trade ratings? It does not seem fair that I should be able to recieve trade ratings without responding with a trade rating of my own.

 

Its for the same reason you can't post in the classified sections.

Truthfully, this is the first time that I've heard this issue come up.

 

It seems kind of strange that I cannot leave a positive feedback for another member...

It is unfair to the regular members and patrons that they are able to leave a trade rating for trial users, but they cannot recieve a return rating from the trial member.

I think the trader rules needs to be revised.
