I don't care for this new system either ..
HOWEVER, I can see the many positives that go with this as it gets further along into the growing stages. For now, it might not seem like a big deal as 90% of the current feedback that has been left for past deals will never get logged into the new iTrader system. Thats a shame as I myself took the time to give out over 165 GTG ratings but have not received many in return.
The negatives to this is many will just look at the number under a screenname .. as long as that number is not in the - or red, members will deal without searching. There are a few members at this site with over 50, 100, even 200 GTG deals. But, those members also have a NGTG thread or a Buyer Beware as a result of resolving a NGTG thread. All the new iTrader system does is go from say a 50 feedback rating to 49 if there is a NGTG.
I don't care who you are or how many GTG deals you have at this site, 1 NGTG is 1 too many. If you do not research still or read the actual feedback left in either the current system or the iTrader system, what good is tthe change ???
My advice :
PLEASE STILL SEARCH WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH. DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING !
