There seems to be some confusion with regard to Trader Ratings, which needs to be cleared up to preserve the integrity of the rating system.
CJs
The CJ host/ess gets rated ONCE for hosting the CJ, by ONE of the participants (providing a link to the official CJ thread), NOT by all the members of the CJ.
The host/ess must nominate the participant to provide the rating, therefore if you haven't been asked to... please do not rate the host/ess.
The host/ess rates each of participants ONCE (providing a link to the official CJ thread)
Both of these ratings user the TRADE option
Each participant DOES NOT rate each person who did an entry in their CJ
Hosted SWAPS
The CJ host/ess gets rated ONCE for hosting the SWAP, by ONE of the participants (providing a link to the official Swap thread), NOT by all the members of the Swap.
The host/ess must nominate the participant to provide the rating, therefore if you haven't been asked to... please do not rate the host/ess.
The host/ess rates each of participants ONCE (providing a link to the official SWAP thread)
Both of these ratings user the TRADE option
Each participant DOES NOT rate the person who sent their swap items
Marketplace Transactions
The SELLER of an item rates the BUYER of the item as soon as the money is received (or cleared in the case of a cheque)
The BUYER of an item rates the SELLER of the item as soon as the item is received.
Please include a link to the relevant Marketplace post
The buyer should select the BUYER option for placing their rating
The seller should select the SELLER option for placing their rating
IMPORTANT: There are NO other reasons for submitting a Trader Rating.
The Trader Rating system is NOT for rating sponsors or for sponsors to rate retail customers.
The Trader Rating system is NOT for PIFs, WISHES, RAKs or Direct Swaps, which are considered 'goodness of your heart' transactions.
Any ratings which you may have that do not fit into the above categories will be deleted. If you have a 10 ratings for hosting one CJ, 9 of those ratings may be deleted. This is to preserve the integrity of the ratings.
Please also ensure that ratings are issued in a timely way and reference the relevant thread.
