SitePoint today announced a new feature for their popular trading marketplace called ‘The User Trust System’. The new system adds a trust score to your profile.
There are two main ways to boost your trading rating. The first way is to add your telephone number to your profile. Once SitePoint has verified your number you will get a rating boost of 60%. The remaining 40% is determined by the positive and negative feedback you receive from trading within the marketplace (much the same as ebay).
This is a great addition to the marketplace and in my opinion, a feature which is very long overdue. The marketplace is a great place to keep tabs on if you want to pick up a domain name, website or template and while they still have a long way to go improve the service, this is definately a step in the right direction.

this feature is long overdue.. finally!
Cool feature but it is hard to find good opportunities on Sitepoint from my point of view. Good sites are sold within one or two minutes.
