Bond System.

Bond System

What is the Bond system?
Bonds refers to a member-to-member Contract that can be created. This system allows members to start a Bond ( contract ) with another user for certain deals and go on with the deal, add reputation to completed Bond, and open a dispute against a specific Bond they have already created.

Why create this Contract system?
It can be created in an effort to give more details and data in deals done between members within Mc Market. Bonds will assist members to settle disputes, alert others of high-risk members, and allow Admins to ban members from Bonds allowing for much faster work for admins and people, this allows for transparency through deals.

How does the Bond system work?

Part 1 :

The buyer can start a bond with the user , providing his or hers details to the bond creator.
There can be diffrent categories :

• Buying
  
• Selling
  
• Exchanging
  
• Trading

Part 2:

Details are worked out either ways and the creator can accept or deny the the request , if no answer is given within 72 hours the deal expieres. After the payment has been confirmed the buyer can mark the deal as active.

Part 3 :
At this point, both parties have accepted the Contract and its terms and you can proceed with the actual deal.

Part 4 :
Part 4 is the final step you have to take before the bond is completed. It's pretty straightforward as well. If the terms of the Contract were met and both parties are satisfied, simply mark the Contract as complete and leave a reputation for this specific Contract.

Part 5 :

Part 5 is more of a job well done phase.
​

That's pretty much it. This allows for a lot of things on mcm and would be a good update to see roll in.

If you disagree please state why

Doesn't this already exist with regular deals on MCM? You agree on terms and then leave ratings on the user?

 

[utaninja]

What do users gain from this over regular deals? I don’t see any benefit and just more unnecessary work.

You put this suggestion together pretty damn well, but I have to agree with utaninja on this one. It doesn’t seem any different from the normal process used by members currently on the site.

This allows for so much more :
Transparency in deals: Tells exactly what you're getting
It allows for a faster process between users :
keeps the members on site
Allows for scam reports to get processed faster.

Yes, this would be expensive and time-consuming to get this made, but then to look at this as a whole it would be very beneficial

most of these are denied so idk if this will come thru

Well again there never was such a suggestion and this is something that all users can benefit from

I don't see how this would keep users onsite; after confirming the bond, they could always move to a different platform. Anyways, most sellers/buyers have a TOS already.

The bond can allow users to make a pm with the details already filled in. It reduces risk on dealing on the forum.

Cal why do you disagree?

In most scam reports (from what I have seen) it does not really matter if you have a TOS or not. This will make it so people have to listen to someones TOS, but then again I am not sure if this is worth it.

We only acknowledge your TOS if it does not blatantly scam the other party, then we consider it invalid.

For example, a “no refunds” clause does not apply if the product the buyer has received is not as described.

There are countless variations of this suggestion. I don't have a specific opinion on it, and to be frank, I don't think it's worth having an opinion on this anymore. Stuff like this usually gets ignored/declined without much thought.

*bump*
cause it's dying

We have a relatively similar idea to this which is planned to be custom developed at some point in the future. The idea we have is "Merchant Agreements" which work to achieve the same goal. More information about this will be coming out closer to the time that we get this developed.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
