The rating system is an important feature of the bidorbuy online marketplace, where people buy from strangers and sell to strangers. Ratings are the evidence of actual experiences that users like you have had when buying and selling.

• Sellers rate buyers on the basis of prompt payments and ease of transaction.
• Buyers rate sellers after receiving the purchase and base their rating on the service and on the product, which must be exactly as described in the bidorbuy listing.

There are three kinds of ratings: positive, negative and neutral. Before buying or selling, you can view the ratings and the comments that other community members had left. That feedback is there to help you make an informed decision.

The ratings and the comments buyers and sellers leave for each other are available for all who browse bidorbuy. By providing this open platform, bidorbuy promotes the basic value of honesty among the community members.

Ratings are a point of pride to bidorbuy users and they take them very seriously. So, be honest in the rating you give and adhere to our rating rules.

We want to encourage bidorbuy users to leave ratings after each and every transaction. And we want to do it by giving each and every user who leaves a rating a chance to win R1000 in bobBucks vouchers each and every month! The competition is on from now until eternity… or thereabouts.

This is how the Rate and WIN competition works:

• Leave a rating for your seller or your buyer and you will be automatically entered into the draw.
• All ratings left by midnight of a specific month are entered into that month’s draw.
• There is one draw per month.
• The prize is one R1000 bobBucks shopping voucher.
• The winner will be notified by email.
• The winner’s voucher will be allocated to his or her bidorbuy account.
• The bobBucks vouchers can only be used on bidorbuy. These vouchers are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
• The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
• The bidorbuy general competition rules and Ts&Cs apply.

You will be entered into the competition regardless of how you rate your trading partner (with a positive, neutral or negative). Just make sure your rating is fair and remember to leave a comment that substantiates your rating.

To make things even easier for you, you will soon be able to rate your trading partner and enter the Rate and WIN competition straight from your email:

In the meantime, simply log into your bidorbuy account to leave your ratings and feedback.
And above all, go on buying and selling on bidorbuy with confidence!
