ABSTRACT:
The present embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, systems, architectures, computer readable medium, and processes for use in notifying users of other users' transaction ratings. Some embodiments provide a method for use in facilitating transactions between users. This method determines that a first user is interested in entering into a transaction with a second user, determines a summary rating of the second user, and notifies the first user of the second user's summary rating prior to the first user entering into a transaction with the second user. The method can further determine that the second user's summary rating is below a first threshold, generate the notification to the first user to review the second users summary rating, and implement the notification of the first user when the second user's summary rating is below the first threshold. In some embodiments, the method notifies the first user by displaying a warning box.
