I vote "YES" but i think to become a "DEADBEAT", you'll have to have a trader rating with at least "X" amount of negative feedback or something to restrict someone from jsut throwing you under the bridge. Some people are just never happy and try to give good upstanding members a bad name. Heck, with all the negative threads about a "Certain Vendor" on the board, that vendor would be considered a deadbeat when we all know that is not the case. It would just need to be monitored and restricted somewhat.
I pride myself in taking time to make sure people get what they paid for, packed well, and shipped fast but it only takes one simple mistake to look bad when selling parts. What if I forgot to add a part into a box that has 10 items, or if the shipping company damaged something, etc. Then the guy gets his package and had a bad day so he jumps on the board and makes me a DEADBEAT without giving me a chance to make things right.
Just food for thought!
