Add "Total All Time Transacted Funds" to members' reputation overviews

[Red]

There isn't much description to be added for this. With each reputation that a member leaves on another's profile, they have the option to enter the amount their deal consisted of. When/if they deal with that member again, they can just describe the new deal in a new line and then add the amount of the new deal to that of the old deal.

Some members keep track of how much they've dealt using this system. More importantly, for services like currency exchange, loans, and investment, the total funds that people have handled (even if it wasn't their own money they were handling, like in currency exchange) gives potential customers a good idea of how reputable they are. If I've handled several thousands without having negative reputations towards me, it's a good sign that I'm not about to steal the customer's cash. I feel that a member with 50 rep having handled $5K is more reputable than a member with 50 rep having dealt $100.

Thus, having the total amount that a person's handled conveniently tallied and displayed in the reputation overview is a good idea, IMO. Let me know what you guys think.

EDIT: I feel what I've described in this quote is as important as the title. Not sure if it deserves its own separate thread

If this is supplemented by a second addition to the rep system - displaying the largest single transaction in the summary - it could be excellent, because it would show just how much the [user] could have scammed in one go (but chose not to). It’s a good gauge for overall rep.

Definitely, you made a good point with the rep part

Breathtaking suggestion, this would deffinitely give a nice overview of a users total amount of $$ they've dealt with.

 

[X8.]

best suggestion, since reps need to be total amount in deals, rather than amount of deals done

This could be easily abused

Out of curiosity, how do you think it would be abused? People putting fake amounts?

Make this an option to have enabled

^ this should be an option. The last thing we need is people shitting on others for the total amount of deal's they've done

And if I were to deal with a ton of people and thousands people would target me and maybe try to compromise my shit

it's gonna be a status race, this shouldn't be added at all imo.[DOUBLEPOST=1570791096][/DOUBLEPOST]

also, more reps will be removed for "fake deal amount" nobody wants that.

Good idea, I don't think a $1.50 deal should hold the same weight as a $500 deal.

+1, would allow us to get a better understanding of the user's past work, and how we expect them to be while dealing.

 

[Zyger]

Yes. People just putting like 999999999

Then it'd make it easier for feedback staff to handle it

For people who truly, truly care, the status race already exists in the form of rep.

If your accounts are secure, and you're using OTP 2FA then you'll be fine.

The amount of transacted funds was recently added, so I don't think this would be very accurate until months later. Also, why can't you just add up the transacted funds on the person you are dealing with up yourself? I personally believe reputation should only be given if a deal has taken place. A deal that involves money and proof must be shown of money being sent to them. Forcing them to use the amount transacted in the reputation. half negative reputations are from sellers talking to customers and them saying one thing to upset the potential buyer; resulting in some sort of negative reputation. Every time I have reported a reputation and have gotten it removed, nothing happens to the person who left the reputation. also more than half of the reputation (from me) are from deals ive never done with people. But I am giving up on mc-market more and more every day. i try to keep myself off the site but seem to keep coming back as there is no better alternative.

Sure, I can add up the funds myself, but that's kind of the point of the suggestion: to make the process easier and more useful for both the buyer and seller. And while its true that this is a relatively recent feature, it'll become more and more accurate as time goes on.

As for the rest, I agree. Rep should be given when a deal takes place, adding the amount should be required, and negative reputations given just because the buyer didn't like what the seller said should be removed accurately and systematically. It has nothing to do with this suggestion, though. It's just a general complaint towards the site.

I have my accounts secure but I’m referring to those who might not. And OTP 2FA isn’t that good cuz what if the email gets compromised
