When it comes to a business transaction, we all like to work with people we trust, who have a record of fair dealing. That's why TheTieXchange.com™ lets members leave feedback about their exchanging experiences with others. And we let you decide who you feel comfortable exchanging with, based on their exchanging histories. The user rating system tells you how members have performed in past transactions, based on the feedback left by their past exchanging partners.

When looking at a member’s user rating, you should keep in mind that disagreements can arise between users and that a single piece of negative feedback, or few in an otherwise positive exchanging history, shouldn't necessarily mark the user as a bad bet to exchange with. In addition, we recommend that you also read any comments left about a member by former exchanging partners, which may provide more information.

Because a member’s rating is so important, you are asked to use common sense and good judgment when leaving feedback for another member of the TheTieXchange.com™ community. Specifically, keep in mind that you cannot go back and edit feedback that you have already left, and the feedback you leave will become a permanent part of a member's user rating. You also want to avoid making comments that could be libelous or defamatory. Learn more by reviewing the Feedback Policy.

TheTieXchange.com™ members exchange under the assurance of a user rating system. The system helps to ensure safe and secure exchanging because users who fail to exchange quality items in a prompt manner will receive poor ratings, effectively ending their exchanging privileges. After you’ve received your new item in the mail, you’ll have a chance to rate your exchange partner. Simply click the “my completed exchanges” link from any page and you’ll see an updated list of all your exchanges, beginning with the most recent. Here you can inform your exchanging partner and all members if the exchange was satisfactory.
