How?Easy...

Let's see how easy it really is

The staffs here at Lowyat.net should emulate the procedures at Lelong.com.my and Ebay where traders who wants to set up their online store can apply to do so by faxing in their related verification documents copies such as the IC/photos to the site management.They must have their office contact and H/P numbers verified as well.

Another important thing is RATING!Traders should be rated accordingly with the number of successful transactions made and only buyers/seller should be given the opportunity to write a short remake about the items they've bought.These comments can only be written separately in the trader's item inventory because currently any any tom d*** and harry can bump threads with unrelated comments.

You're relatively new right? So you may not know this. That there thread is dedicated to Poweredge who built a very solid trading reputation here before pulling off the Great Con.

Like what was mentioned earlier, we should consider a fixed COD location whereby the management of the site can help bulk sellers sell their items.Lelong.com.my has their COD point somewhere located nearby the Taman Bahagia Station if I'm not mistaken.

You have to remember that lelong and ebay both have service charges whilst we don't. Therefore, they can afford full time staff to handle all this while we can't.

Well if a trader wants to do business in here why can't he sacrifice some privacy so that other people may trust him further?The staffs of LY.net do not need to disclose the information directly to the person claims that he/she is a victim of a con act.They can do it with the request from relevent authorities(i.e: police) after a report has been made only when it is really necessary.

About the second limb, don't tell me that there's no trust between the staffs and administrators here.If there are so many organisations such as financial institutions and corporate companies that are able do it why not Lowyat.net?This only applies to those who wish to trade, the other can keep out.

Lowyat.NET is by no means a financial institution. We don't even have an actual office (Its just a bunch of servers in a data center). So, if we do take items to be kept in confidence, it will most probably end up in someone's desk drawer.

Plus, the person holding this information would have to shoulder a LOT of responsibility and trust. He'd have to meet EVERY trader out there and he'd also have to ensure that all items in his possession are safe.

That's where proper verification comes in.Anyone could just fax in a fraud/altered copy of IC, but why not meet up with the person who is producing the documents and have him show you the real IC as proof?It can be troublesome but why not?Trading will be real safe that way.Only then that you shall issue a safe trader tag to the selller.For added convenience, you can have staffs in almost every main city/town in the country for this.I know it requires quite a number of staffs/agents but it will surely make trading really secure.
*
Staffs in every town? Let me reiterate the fact that Staff members and Moderators are ALL volunteers. We can't expect these ppl to go out and collect information. Besides, based on the number of ppl who trade here, that's very impractical (It would have to be a full time job). We can't afford to pay ppl to do this either (The ad revenue is barely enough to fund this site as it is)

Anyway it's just my suggestion.I'm also open to critics and additional commments so please don't discourage people like me who are willing to spend some time in writing suggestions/solutions here.When I mentioned that it was easy many have mistakenly took it that I was some arrogant newbie which thought that things can be accomplished very easily.You have mistaken.Sorry of the lack of elaboration there but I was just trying to say that people should only buy from safe tradersthat have been awarded the tag.
*
We're fine with ppl giving suggestions... Its just that, please give suggestions that are feasible. We get plenty of suggestions that are supposed to reduce fraud and con cases, but at the end of the day, if no one can enforce it, what's the point?

Giving suggestions is easy... Getting someone to actually put into action is another. Will you do it?

We get plenty of suggestions to improve the safety and security of the Trade Zone and we weigh each one carefully to determine if its feasible and practical. And what you've suggested here isn't exactly new.
