People get sold on presentation.
I'll admit, the gourmet presentation is nice but the flavors are a bit mild and I'm not one that needs food to pop. It's nice to try once but even though we are in the Top 1% salary category, I'd say only go here if money grows on trees for you becau

Les acheteurs peuvent prendre des décisions éclairées grâce aux évaluations automatisées des vendeurs, qui reflètent les transactions passées et la fiabilité.
Chaque annonce sur AppointmentTrader vous montre quel utilisateur l’a soumise et fournit également un historique de cet utilisateur qui indique son niveau d’expérience ainsi que le pourcentage de ses transactions ayant abouti à un remboursement.
Si aucune annonce ne correspond à votre emploi du temps, vous pouvez faire une offre sur votre créneau préféré.
Disons que Peter passe une excellente matinée et décide d’emmener ses trois amis à Ethel's Fancy Palo Alto à 18h le même jour.
Il consulte le site du restaurant et constate qu’aucune réservation n’est disponible. Il regarde alors la page Ethel's Fancy Palo Alto sur AppointmentTrader, mais ne trouve aucune annonce d’utilisateur non plus.
C’est là que le système d’enchères communautaire entre en jeu.
Peter peut placer une enchère sur AppointmentTrader, qui servira de récompense à tout membre de la communauté choisissant d’aider à trouver une réservation. AT avertit alors les utilisateurs expérimentés qui pourraient être en mesure d’aider.
Processus étapes par étapes
1.) Définir une récompense (enchère)
* AppointmentTrader utilise des données historiques pour recommander un montant de récompense raisonnable pour obtenir une réservation – disons 100 $.
* Peter souhaite vraiment y aller, alors il augmente l’enchère (ou récompense) à 200 $.
* À ce stade, la réservation n’existe pas encore.
2.) Un membre de la communauté prend l’enchère
* DistinguishedTree58, un utilisateur expérimenté d’AT, a un historique solide de réservations réussies et peu de demandes de remboursement, il reçoit une notification concernant l’enchère de 200 $ de Peter.
* DistinguishedTree58 accepte l’enchère, ce qui signifie qu’il va maintenant tenter d’obtenir la réservation.
* Peter peut désormais poser toutes ses questions à DistinguishedTree58 pendant que ce dernier travaille sur sa demande.
3.) Trouver la réservation
* DistinguishedTree58 utilise maintenant ses relations chez Ethel's Fancy Palo Alto pour obtenir la table.
* S’il parvient à avoir la table de 18h pour quatre personnes, Peter reçoit une confirmation lui indiquant que la réservation est sécurisée.
* Si DistinguishedTree58 n’arrive pas à obtenir la réservation, l’enchère est remise en jeu pour qu’un autre utilisateur puisse tenter sa chance.
4.) Paiement & Protection
* Une fois la réservation sécurisée, DistinguishedTree58 reçoit la récompense de 200 $ qui est créditée sur le solde AT de DistinguishedTree58, où les utilisateurs gèrent leurs fonds et peuvent retirer leur argent via les options disponibles comme virement bancaire, PayPal ou Zelle.
* Peter peut alors profiter du dîner avec ses amis à Ethel's Fancy Palo Alto !
* Comme pour toutes les transactions sur AT, les litiges et les frais d’absence sont gérés via le système communautaire de résolution de la plateforme. Les utilisateurs ayant un bon historique sont incités à honorer les enchères, et les membres de la communauté peuvent signaler les problèmes pour maintenir la confiance sur la marketplace.
