DormItem.com: Free College Classifieds

Some of you may have noticed that “rapleaf reputation” graphic in each post. This is a new feature we added to DormItem to increase trust between buyers and sellers. Rapleaf is an open feedback system for across the web, and it allows anyone to rate a person’s email address based on interactions that they have had across the web. DormItem partnered with Rapleaf to power our feedback system, and to increase safety for college students who are transacting on campus.

Rapleaf gives sellers who post with a .edu email address more trust than other email domains. This is an advantage to students, whose integrity automatically increases when they use their school email. Not only are seller’s Rapleaf ratings visible in their listing, but when a user contact’s a seller, that user’s Rapleaf rating is visible in their email. We hope that with the addition of Rapleaf feedback, users will be more inclined to find buyers and sellers they trust, along with providing Rapleaf feedback to those users.
What is Rapleaf? (fom their site Rapleaf.com )
RapLeaf is a portable ratings system for commerce. We allow buyers and sellers to rate one another. Get rated and get a RapLeaf score that will help lead to a greater level of trust.

Rapleaf has been featured on Techcrunch and is based in San Francisco. Thanks to Auren, one of the company’s founders, who has been a great help in creating the feature for us to integrate it with DormItem.
