I was given a -3 popularity rating by a user kgoon  because I told him I wasn’t interested in his service, at his elevated price point when there were lower, more competitive offers.

How do I dispute this? Can I even dispute this? Seems like a toxic ability for a vendor that can’t defend their product to have. Especially for members new to the marketplace. Removes the little negotiating power we have.

Is this normal behavior here now? I remember when HF first popped up when ZeusBot was still popular and it wasn’t this childish. What happened?

Ignore the attachment.

Yes, you can expect many sellers here to do this. Well, popularity doesnt matter much. B-Rating is main when it comes to marketplaces and deals.

Good luck.

Fair enough, thank you! Also caught more negative rep for saying something lol. Unnecessarily toxic/childish smh.

3 members gave you a -3, and all 3 members are in my Ignore list + harassed me before.

The trick is to not engage. Some people are a bless, others are a mess. It is your job to not clean up somebody’s mess and enjoy the rooms of HF.

P.S.
If you feel uncomfortable paying a price and your seller / vendor replies with a negative popularity rating, odds are you got the best scenario out of it. $250 is a lot of money for most members, you did a good job.

P.P.S.
Gave you +5 to get the mood up. Enjoy your day.

Don’t worry about it buddy it’s not important.

You cannot.
