If you are the buyer 

• Leave an honest rating. Keep in mind that the review you give your counterpart will affect his or her future sales. 

• Try to rate the deal in accordance with the promises made by the seller. If you leave a detailed rating – a happy customer usually leaves a five star rating – remember to judge the the deal with the item description and other information the seller has provided in mind. 

• Don’t leave a negative rating before trying to get in touch with the seller. Negative reviews are generally rare on Tradera. They are usually posted when something has gone wrong with the deal, e.g. if you did not receive your item or if it did not correspond with the seller’s description. Contacting your counterpart before posting a negative review is important. Often times a mutual solution can be reached. 

If you are the seller

Try calling the buyer, this usually yields good results.
