I was just wondering whats the best way to build your trader rating . I wanted to join a train but all require a minimum trader rating . I was wondering could i just offer my hundreds of unused coupons as freebies or RAOK to build my rating . Any input will be greatly appreciated . Im new to this and a little overwhelmed by the vast amount of information available here .

i have a trader rating of 0 also. maybe we can do some trading and get some points. or start a coupon train.

I have seen lots of people use RAOKs to build their trader rating. Keep checking the trains because I know there are a couple for newbies. Or you can start your own!

Just an FYI, you only get a trader rating the first time that you trade with someone.

Just to clarify, you can *get* a trader rating each time that someone leaves one for you, but only the first one that you get from someone will increase your rating count that appears in your posts. The only way that anyone else would see the additional ratings would be if they viewed your complete TR history in your profile.

RAOK's are a great way to build your trader rating because both you and the person who needs Q's are benefiting. Also as an FYI, You can not leave negative feedback for RAOK's.

I am finding that it just takes time and patience. It is also trial and error. You just need to find what works for you.

Here is the link to the FSOT baby / kid forum in case you want to list the Q's that you are looking to trade.

Here is a link to the RAOK forum, where you can list the Q's that you would like to give away:

What I did was take my q's and put them in envies of 50 each and offered them as a RAOK for trader rating only. Then I posted in the RAOK thread and offered them to the first 6 people to PM me. Then I mailed them out to them the next day. So far I have gotten 4 out of the 6 that have left me rating. HTH

I noticed that some of you do not have a wishlist, which is something that is helpful when doing trades as it allows potential traders to know what items *you* are looking for.

Here is a link on how to create a wishlist:

Actually, it isn't a true RAOK if you REQUIRE trader feedback. You can request, but not require it if you'd like to advertise in the RAOK forum.

Keep looking for trains. There are a few out there that don't require trader ratings. I started one and got absolutely no response, so I removed it. I also have a train that I just started with no requirement, and didn't get many requests to join from newbies, so be sure to check back all the time and post in the thread if they are accepting members.

I'm from illinois what train? I'm new so I really don't qualify either to join the trains...

If someone gives you negative feedback in retailiation to a trade (train) gone bad, how do I get rid of it. I hate seeing it on my trader rating and I think it is totally unfair.
