I have just started using the 'transaction log' on closed auctions to post notes of transaction developments. I have a buyer who has won several of my auctions on the same ending date. The payment is overdue, and have sent him my usual 'Inquiry of payment' notice. Which I feel he may not respond to, ( by the way he barely responded to winning).
I hope the transaction comments are visible to all after ratings are given. It would be a time stamped record of the transaction if it goes bad. Right now, only the seller/buyer can view the comments in the log. I'm anxious to see if the comments are visible to all, after ratings are exchanged? Anyone know if they are?
It would be excellent if the transaction comments are visible, after ratings, because it would show who is lying and who is truthful. The time/date stamps would show if the seller/buyer was trying to make the transaction work. It would really combat the liars we all get retailatory negs from. Pretty hard to lie when there are time/date stamped notes made by the seller/buyer, of the transaction as it progressed.
Yahoo!, if your reading this thread, how about it! If they are not visible after exchanging ratings, please make them visible after ratings are exchanged. Or, visible all of the time, why not? I don't have anything to hide from anyone, and my buyers shouldn't have either. We can show the true deadbeats, (when we get one), for what they are. If this 'transaction log' is used like I feel it should be. Feedback happens after the fact, and is full of lies from deadbeats. This log happens during the facts.
How do the rest of you feel? I may be wrong about this, and I'd like to hear different views. Maybe this would not be a good idea, and I am missing some flaw in my thinking, (that would be nothing new). Just hoping to find a way to give the deadbeats their just desserts.
