I would like to warn people when I get ripped off and maybe prevent them from doing it to someone else.
Also being a newbie to most of the sites listed here it would be helpful to look up a site and see if they stand beside what they sell.
Thanks, Diana

another good indication is if you purchased or is thinking about purchasing something you see in one of these threads, just keep going back to it and read what some SDers have to say. Some offer good posts while others don't. Take the opinions with a grain of salt and decide for yourself.

how about http://www.resellerratings.com, that's pretty much the de facto standard (other than fellow SDers feedback)

well I purchased an item from shentech.com off pricegrabber. It's listing is completely wrong from what it is. He didn't anwser my question until after I sent paypal payment. I asked him nicely to cancel my order since no shipping number had been issued and he ignored me and sent it out anyway. Geeze not very customer friendly. He has the same product listed wrong on his site also but listed higher.

IMO then, you need to leave something about this on the website I linked to. If people like you do leave a note about your service, then others may never know.

I really do believe that we need a place on the board for all stores to be rated and talked about. If I have to go off site to find the information what is the point? I just think it would be easier to be able to seach a forum here than google or jump to another site, forum.

Just a though----

Just a though----Since there already is a well-established, well-known, and successful site for that specific purpose as mentioned above, any effort along those lines here would end up being mediocre in comparison.

Another issue - a ratings feature may open Slickdeals to more manipulation by vendors who want to pump their own ratings or hurt those of the competition - something SD is trying to fight.
