XmrBazaar (beta)

I'm not really sure if this is a good idea, but having an option by the seller to hide the link to what item a buyer reviewed.

The reason why is that while you could do a private listing, a private listing can't be advertised to the public, you need a buyer already set up to white list their account. Some people might have items they sold that they don't want to be known that they sold it later on when they remove the listing. For example let's say someone is offering a service that was legal in their country, but then it becomes illegal and the government wants to go after them for it, even though it was sold when legal. An example is what is happening in Germany where some people who made a politically incorrect meme that was legal when the post was made, but since it is illegal now they have their door kicked in. Maybe people selling legal accounts might be legal today, but in the future become illegal and they could be targeted because of that if their xmrbazaar account is ever linked to their real ID (for example Twitter verification). Or alternatively it could just be due to a privacy thing. Like let's say someone used to sell cringy fanfics as a teen then when they grow up as an adult they don't want anyone to ever see, mention, or know it was associated with their account.

I think the review should only be associated with a listing when you are viewing the actual listing page. On the user's profile page the ratings should not have a link using the title of the listing, which would let someone know what the item bought was.

A potential downfall is someone making a listing that's very cheap or a loss leader to rack up reviews, then making their sole listing something expensive like a gold coin, in order to make others think a lot of people bought gold coins from them.

A possible solution is to allow a user to hide all reviews after a certain date or replace the review with a message like [Hidden Review]. The star rating would still factor into the seller's average, but just no one can see what the review was for. You would know that for some reason the seller chose to hide those sales.
