What is MoparMarket.com?
The short version : MoparMarket.com is an online classifieds E-zine that caters for the Chrysler enthusiast.

The long version : MoparMarket.com was born in November 1999. Its creator Ray Webb Jnr prompted to fill an obvious void for enthusiasts of Chrysler branded vehicles in relation to sourcing spare parts for their classic and vintage cars. Its humble beginnings led to significant growth in traffic over a short period of time. Maintained manually via direct emails for nearly two years, MoparMarket.coms readership outgrew its creators available time for updates. Help was sought by way of a significant website overhaul by an avid Moparmarket.com reader Byron Schubert. Byron proceeded to re-design the facilities that required less manual time restraints for its moderator with its semi-automated features.

MoparMarket.com continued with version 2 for some 3 years with great success and consistant growth. With over 850,000 genuine website visits ( as @ April 2005 ) MoparMarket.com is undeniably Australias premier location to advertise for the Chrysler enthusiast. In Oct 2004, Byron was again commissioned to take on what would be aptly known as V3 (vee-three) -- aka : MoparMarket.com Version 3.

V3 promised to have all new website interactive features that are normally only found in high-end commercial advertising facilities, together with entertaining attributes to keep the punters happy. April 2005 saw the launch of V3...the rest is history.

What is feedback and how does it work?
Feedback is an important method used to give users reputations on MoparMarket.com. By sucessfully buying or selling on MoparMarket.com, or dealing with a prospective buyer/seller, you have the ability to post feedback on the other person in their feedback page, as they can also do to you.
    An example... You want to buy a car advertised on MoparMarket.com. You call the seller, and he answers your questions straight out. You decide to check the car out, and it's as described. He's flexible on the price, you offer him a price, he takes it. You're both very happy!

In this case... You should post positive feedback for him, and he should post positive feedback for you, both explaining briefly why the transaction went well.

    Another example... You want to buy a car advertised on MoparMarket.com. You email the seller who, by request, sends you pictures of the car. He says it has minimal rust and is an easy restoration, and that he'll throw in some spares too. You decide check the car out, and it's nowhere like it was described. It's got rust everywhere and he's changed his tune about throwing in some spares. Not a nice experience!
In this case... Let everyone else know by briefly explaining what went wrong Of course, if you post negative feedback, the other person is likely to give you negative feedback too... You have the ability to reply to feedback that is given to you, and vice versa. This way you can explain each of your points as to what went wrong, to present your cases to a potential buyer/seller in the future.

The examples above highlight why feedback needs to be given. It's primary purpose is to aid in you determining how good (or otherwise) someone is to deal with.


Why bother posting feedback?
Feedback has a very important role - over time it builds positive reputations. Dealing with a seller or buyer can be risky sometimes - feedback helps you to deal with a user by displaying feedback in the form of other people's experiences who have dealed with the user. If the person has had many good experiences and few or no bad experiences, then you probably won't have any trouble with them.

How do I post feedback?
Posting feedback is easy. Simply locate the advertisement posted by your desired seller. Once you have found their ad, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and select "POST NEW FEEDBACK", select from Positive, Neutral or Negative feedback and enter a feedback comment. Please note that feedback can ONLY be left for an individual who is advertising. Please use the MoparMarket.com feedback system responsibly. All feedback pertaining insults or personal attacks will be promptly removed and the poster suspended.
