Help ‹ Ratings

Rating a member helps other members decide if that member is trust-worthy. It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to rate a collector you have not exchanged with. Do provide a NEUTRAL rating once you have sent a package to another collector. This will help in preventing mass-cheats. Change the rating to POSITIVE once you have received what you agreed upon. Changing to NEGATIVE should be done ONLY if other means of communication have failed. Use the rating comment to include as many details as possible about the exchange. If a member you have not swapped with asks for a positive rating, please Contact Us. If a member asks for a positive rating of more than one account (duplicate accounts), please Contact Us. Collectors who have too many bad ratings may have their Colnect account deactivated.

New members of Colnect cannot rate others. The reason is that there have been cases in which collector accounts were created solely to rate members. If you see "You still cannot rate other collectors", please continue using Colnect and in some time you'll be able to rate other collectors. You will definitely need other members of Colnect to give you positive ratings before you can rate others. If you're a new member, your best bet is to swap with members who have many positive ratings. We know this explanation is somewhat general. It is phrased this way on purpose. Revealing exactly how one can receive the option to rate will make it easier for cheaters and spammers to create reliable fake accounts with fake ratings on Colnect.

Ratings given by deactivated members are hidden. Deactivation means the member is not a part of Colnect anymore. Hiding their given ratings ensures that members suspected of fraud cannot add to trustibility of other members.

Rating a member (when already allowed) is available by clicking "Rate collector" when viewing "Collector Ratings".
