Reputation is a score that reflects your history of successful transactions on the market. Both buyers and sellers earn reputation on every completed order, in proportion to the value of the transaction.
Reputation builds up over time and is visible to other users on listings. Sellers can require a minimum buyer reputation to protect themselves from unknown buyers. A high reputation signals trustworthiness to your trading partners. It can also affect the outcome of a dispute, and your reputation may change as a result of one.
Reputation is only earned on fully completed orders — cancelled, expired, or disputed orders do not generate reputation.
You can also purchase reputation directly via the
Buy Rep page. Each unit of reputation costs 2 BAN or XNO (matching your account type) to deter abuse. Purchased reputation works identically to earned reputation and is permanent — it cannot be refunded. Note that reputation displayed in the navbar reflects your
available reputation — any reputation locked by pending orders or open disputes is temporarily deducted from the displayed value. For manual delivery listings, reputation remains locked for the seller's entire delivery window plus 3 days, which may be significantly longer than the 3-day window for auto delivery items.
