The Dispute Tag
When a trader is involved in a dispute, the tag is assigned to him to alert other forumers to be extra cautious in their dealings with him, as he may be a trader with bad trading practices or even a scammer.

Conditions for assignment:

• The disputee fails to attend to a dispute within 7 days after a person lodged a complaint against him in the Dispute Corner. However both parties involved in the dispute will receive the tag if they are both unable to meet an amicable settlement within 7 days time.
• The disputee is not putting in his best effort to resolve the dispute.
• There is strong evidence suggesting that the disputee is a potential scammer. The assignment of the tag is expedited in this case.

Conditions for removal:

• Both parties reach an amicable solution.
• Or in the case of potential scammers, proof is provided to show the contrary.

You may PM any Admin or Staff to have your Dispute Tag removed once the dispute is resolved. If there are further doubts over the dispute tag, simply open a topic or PM any Moderators/Tradezone Enforcers.

Minor comments, all good

Thank you!

Just one thing. Staff cannot give/remove dispute tags. So please amend that. hehe.

Otherwise all seems good.

dispute tag will be given to bad traders? if many ppl commented on the trader?

What if a buyer promised to turn up COD but didn't do so? Can put dispute?

As vikingw2k said....

will be assigned to those trader when he / she involved into certain case at Trade Zone Helpdesk & Dispute Resolution Corner. FFK is not included.

very unfair to sellers then...
I've been FFK quite a number of times

People who FFK will at most get an "honorable" mention in the minor offenders list. I think that is good enough for now. But I remember someone proposed an FFK tag, can't remember which topic.

That's nothing compared to me. I've dealt thousand over times and being ffk-ed hundred over times yet I just take it as nothing. If you are afraid of getting ffk-ed. Don't sell your stuff and keep it for your own use.

Relax lah,
That's not her point.
her point was saying it will be good if there's something to tag him on the FFK-ers.
this way FFK-ers won't FFK.
something like blacklist, once blacklist, you won't be able to purchased anything if your blacklisted.

customers always right.

ooo.
so the dispute tag guy will still have chnce to remove the dispute tag la?

Yes, if eventually he/she has settled the case.

oo faham2..
but didnt saw any user wth that tag yet~

what about creating FFK tag as well?

for ffk, u may report them here : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/528591

how bout those tht saying preorder tht u need to wait until now but still no respond after u had paid her a month ago!!!is tht called ffk also!!!

have you tried contacting her recently?
you can ask for a refund, 1 month is considered too long (unless you're booking a car)
if she gives reasons for not refunding to you, then be prepared for a bad news

pre order is obviously taking a longer time than ready stock, thats why it call pre order. stock may from oversea.
normally there will be terms and condition to commit before a shopper willing to join.
seller should be able to give your updates on your order status (only conman you call it 'reason')

and under Trade Zone Helpdesk & Dispute Resolution Corner i can see alot of seller id run away with money being reported,but they dont get dispute tag. i think they should (though i understand this section is only to resolve dispute, but it should be a channel to 'catch' dispute too).

my2 cents

i cant even got to contact her lol!!!call her up but no wan answer!!!!!
until today it have being 3 month dee!!!!im sure all preoder wont take tht long lol!!
y does all those thing always happen to me wan!!!

i think there is guideline for newbies to go tru. it is NOT recommended to buy from newbie and should look for safe trader tag. but i always see people buy from newbie due to the fact they want cheaper price. at the end of the day,they are on risk

By having safe trader tag, doesn't mean you're saint mate..everyone has their own way of doing trade. So do you..so be happy with you tag then..

I mean, its always one thing about trust, whether you like or not , you live with it, unless you find somethin' fishy about newbies, we always have place to hang onto..

At least seller with safe trader have a proven good track record.

can i ask here why this user got dispute tag...??
i just make a deal with him, didn't realise that dispute tag...
but the deal was success, he deliver excellent item, on time and kind too...
want to buy some more, but that that dispute tag make me think twice...

Guys I need help. I don't know where else to ask. I recently transferred money to a guy's account for his copy of God Of War. This was on the 29th of september. Everything went well but since two days ago ive been asking him if there are any updates on my parcel, and ive been sending him messages everyday till today waiting for a reply but he havent replied, even though i clearly saw he was online. Then tonight suddenly he has the 'dispute' tag and well I figured I got scammed i guess. Thing is this dude sells alot of stuff and also put the game i bought's status as "sold". His account name is 'zltech'. It just really sucks to lose money just like that since Im still in school with super limited income :/

Any help would be really appreciated!
