About Reviews

Reviews play a crucial role in establishing credibility. They provide valuable insights and feedback from previous buyers and sellers, enabling potential users to make informed decisions. Reviews serve as a reflection of the platform's reliability, trustworthiness, and overall user experience.

Where do reviews appear?

Seller and buyer reviews appear throughout JDM Buy Sell — on our JDM Dealerships list, on approved vendor seller pages ( see an example ), and on individual listings under the ad owner's username. Reviews are dynamic in nature and constantly changing; new reviews may take 24–72 hours to appear.

How do I leave a review?

To maintain review integrity and prevent spam, our system requires you to establish communication with the seller through our messaging system before leaving a review. Inside the messaging portal, locate the specific seller, click on the "Leave a Review" button, and a review form will appear.

How do I view my reviews?

While logged in, click on My Account, then navigate to Reviews.

How do I dispute a review?

You can initiate a review dispute through the JDM Buy Sell Support Center.

Can I trust these reviews?

Sellers on JDM Buy Sell are required to verify their email and phone number before listing a vehicle for sale. Buyers can inquire about vehicles by creating an account through a social media single sign-on process. These measures effectively minimize automated spam submissions, although they are not entirely foolproof.

We strongly recommend buyers conduct thorough research on a seller's track record and reputation, both on our platform and across the internet. A valuable resource for this is the Facebook group I Got Screwed By Shady JDM Importers, where previous buyers share feedback and reviews. Positive testimonials can enhance trust in a seller, while negative reviews may raise red flags. Always exercise due diligence to ensure a safe and successful transaction.

  • Research and due diligence. We strongly encourage buyers to conduct thorough research on a seller's history and reputation, both on our platform and across the internet.

  • Communication requirement. In order to leave a review, users must engage in a conversation with the seller, promoting meaningful interactions and reducing the likelihood of spam or fake reviews.
