But what about the green trust which is given for reasons like-
[bought a X, he sent me first, paid later]
[Escrowed for him]
[Sold a Y, he paid first]
How much weight does this feedback carry?
It's up to the reader to decide how to value feedback. But indeed, instead of "buying" (with a almost certain risk of getting scammed) feedback for $40, doing an actual trade can be a much cheaper way to get green trust.
Meh, I did bought few things from 0.25 or something till 1.75
BTC when I send first whiteout escrow or anything.... and by items been send properly, packed with much care, tracking nr etc...., also with customs problems that are instant taken care of by very fast responding etc
That deserves GREEN trust imo, much more as other things I read some times... Things being bought and sold is where the trust I most needed for!
