Members with No Feedback

Feedback has no meaning anymore on AudiogoN. Anyone who has negative feedback posted against them can simply deny it. The feedback system has no value at all now.

Cheers,

I essentially agree with John. However, I look for those members with a long feedback history that pre-dates the new feedback system.

It makes me nervous to do business with members with little or no feedback, but it is true we all started with none.

Speaking on the telephone sometimes helps provide a better understanding of the person.

I pay only with a credit card. The card provides the best protection in the event of fraud or a dispute.

John, I did not know this..how can that be, to simply deny it. Will it remain this way? I suppose a start as buy or seller would be to simply stay clear of '0's, then again I started with '0' at one time as well, not really fair to ligit newcomers, shame.

I have noticed it to. I am immediately suspicious of people with no feedback. Having said that the scam artists usually make it pretty obvious. You can tell they haven't read you're ad by the emails. Also, inevitably I get the email from the scammers where I have to send some money back and give the piece to their shipper etc.

I wonder if audiogon required us to pay a small membership fee(where they had to verify our addresses with the credit card company) if it would help?
