I always send a quick pm letting them know the items arrived... I just see it as common courtesy.

I think it should be a given to pm the seller if your item arrives

I've always had success buying items on rad with no problems at all.
I can't see how a feedback system would work on here?(too complicated to set up and monitor)
I always used number of posts by the seller as a rule for buying.
A high number of posts was always a sign that the seller had been on rad a long time and therefore trustworthy otherwise surely they would have been kicked off rad a long time ago?
I also used to check if they had sold before and ofcourse if the number was high you could always assume they would see you right?
Simples no ?

I guess the site going down and people losing their post counts and pm data somewhat complicated matters ?

Feedback would be good! It will also show bad feedback so new people etc can see if previous deals where good or bad and if the seller is trust worthy, just like on the museum, if anyone was spending £1000 on stuff and the feed back was crap you'd prob think twice about doing it!

It might stop all threads turning into messers/flippers threads too!

Feedback would be a great idea. The problem is doing it. I'm not even sure if the software supports a feedback system

i thought feedback was a good idea, but not so sure now.

take ebay, some tit's don't leave feedback which is crap. when they get a good deal, packaged well and posted straightaway.
(if on here (radbmx) they can't be arsed to let you know they've got the item what makes you think they can be arsed to leave feedback)

the museum, feedback can be left for anything from buying a £5000 bike to telling someone they've put their landing gear decal on the wrong way on the fork leg.
also your "mates" can bump your feedback up with made up items.

on the museum the feedback function is open all the time for you to give someone a score.

it would only work if the feedback option pops up when a transaction is opened.
