Left the mobile filter unchecked - got 80% mobile clicks - absurd.
Left the Tier 1 box unchecked with another seller - got 55% Tier 1 - very poor.
It goes on.
I came to Udimi thinking it would be an improvement on the Facebook groups. So far in my tests (I do use tracking links, you know, I can see whats going on), the quality of sellers has been poor. My trackers show me sellers I found on FB provided better, more professional clicks and less junk. I'm talking only 25% mobile clicks, 0 web clicks (all email), over 80% T1, etc, and the prices really were only ~$2-ish higher than I paid here.
I'm open to being proven wrong and putting this to bad luck, I had high hopes for this community and still want to enjoy success on here. It can start by being more transparent about expected clicks on sellers profiles.
Then the power is with the buyer.
I know there is a graph on the profile but my tracking stats are showing different, and a seller has told me that those graphs aren't accurate anyway.
Also, another thread mentioned mandatory feedback from buyers, I suggest that the feedback be implemented in the following format:
Clicks ordered/received: 100/121
Optin rate: 36%
T1 (if not filtered): 87%
Mobile (if not filtered): 38%
Web (if not filtered): 5%
Sales: 2 - And at what price, frontend or in follow up sequence?
Please can we get that implemented this way Dimitri? That'll sort the legits from the nots.

So buyers should be better informed about what they're getting from sellers with normal filters selected. To that end, the 2 proposals of
a) sellers being transparent on their profile pages about the ballpark types of clicks they provide their customers with basic filters on. (80% mobile is something that should be highlighted). Maybe fixing those graphs would help.
and
b) buyers giving feedback according to the 1st post's criteria
would be marked improvements to the buyers' user experience. The second is done quite easily and similarly on Facebook all the time, it's not a problem nor complicated. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SoloAdsTestimonials/.
And it's very beneficial feedback for the buyers to see.
In a nutshell, Udimi is to serve buyers first, sellers are there to provide a service. That includes being transparent about the types of clicks they deliver before buyers buy from them. I'm not asking for pinpoint accuracy, just average figures (i.e 20% mobile or 80% is a different ballpark)
And if sellers can provide transparent and quality clicks, that transparent competition would force them to raise their game and the quality of Udimi as a whole, and I for one buyer can engage in a long term and trustful business relationship with sellers. That's what I want to have with sellers here.

Udimi is easily the safest and best place to buy solos on the entire Internet. It was great before, but now with the new filters it is almost impossible to get ripped off if you know what you are doing.
Also, if you look at a sellers profile, it will tell you the average percentage of top-tier traffic you can expect.

Lets be honest here, those filter markups are deliberately priced out of the market, $1 markup each click for non-mobile gets nobody a decent ROI even with the best funnels - which is fine, just let us know what we WILL get with normal filter settings, then buyers know what they're getting Vs other sellers.
I'm not sure why there is opposition from sellers to be more transparent about their clicks on their profiles. Those graphs could be helpful, but I understand they aren't accurate (your own graph says 66% T1 average but you say minimum 70%), and could do with more bars on it.
But sellers can do this without the graphs anyway, just say what the proxy, web, mobile etc clicks are on your profile blurbs, or somewhere on the "Buy Solo" page, or have buyers give specific feedback stats for future buyers to read. Basically, sellers must better inform buyers as to what they're getting before they buy, which they're not.

Not 100% sure though if works correctly here have had bad experiences buying too but ya get that... That is why only sell at the moment..
I think though if your traffic source to build a listed PPC/L then a lot or most are mobile clicks I have found I guess cause zclicking banners initially to optin...

I'm not sure what you mean by a "$1 markup" for each click. I only charge an extra .25 for top-tier added to my base price, meaning if you want all top-tier clicks from me you will pay around .70 per click or something. That's a lot lower than most of the sellers over on Facebook.
Facebook is great if you want to pay $80 for 100 clicks and then get all bot clicks and fake subscribers. The place is loaded with scammers and you can't know what you are buying unless you happen to find an honest seller who you can then order from again.
Also, you keep talking about buyer's leaving a "Good seller." comment. That is only left if the buyer decides to rate the seller "Good" and then not leave their own comment. All buyers have the ability to leave their own custom comments. All you have to do is look at my feedback and you will see how many buyers got sales from my solos.
Uncle Dimity has worked hard to make Udimi the fairest and most transparent solo site on the web today, and he has done a great job.
Speaking from the perspective of a seller, I have no problem telling you exactly what you will receive as a buyer from me. All you have to do is ask. Then if you order and you do not get what you were promised, you are more than welcome to leave negative feedback.
I'm not trying to insult you, but you seem to be making statements without having all of the facts as to how this site is actually set up.

"Good seller" is subjective and tells buyers nothing of what was actually provided, a newbie buyer may think the solo was "Good", but it doesn't tell people if it really was or not. That's why the actual stats is more accurate, then we will decide if it's good or not.
If you're referring to the graphs, yes that could be useful, but apparently they aren't accurate - like I said, your graph says your average T1 is 66% and your written blurb says minimum 70% - which is correct? Heather Alessandra also says they're not accurate.
Put it this way, if normal filters are selected, then you get 80% mobile clicks sent, that isn't clear anywhere on the page, and is a bit naughty, buyers should know that beforehand.
I looked at your profile and indeed you seem to have better markups, other, very prominent sellers markup $1 for certain filters.
Put it another way, if you filled the following stats about your basic filter solos, how would you fill them (ballpark)?:
T1: %
Mobile: %
Web: %
Datacenter: %
Proxy: %
See that's how sellers can be transparent, if they fill that then put it on your profile blurbs - now buyers can clearly see and know what they're getting with no surprises like 80% mobile or 55% T1.
If a buyer sees Seller A has 20% mobile and 70% T1, and Seller B has 60% mobile and 90% T1, with normal filters, we can choose what seller we want to do business with - because there is transparency and clarity.
Or have those graphs improved.
You put up a staunch defense of Dimitri and let me be clear that my problem doesn't lie with Dimitri or Udimi at all, it is with the lack of transparency of sellers on here, Udimi has huge potential for long term business partnerships.

added laterSorry and some may not advertise mobile amounts cause in my experience mobile clicks are frowned upon if more than 30% I would have thought.... I do think though the mobile clicks are becoming more and more excepted everyday...
If they're shy about advertising their mobile % then sorry but they should still be transparent about their services. Buyers should know what they're getting. If it was clear I'd get 80% mobile, or 55% T1 (different sellers), I wouldn't have bought, or at least know to select filters. But I would buy from other sellers with stats I did know about and could be happy with - that's the nature of the market. There isn't that transparency about normal filter clicks.
Again, putting these ballpark figures on their blurbs or on the "Buy Solo" page would help:
T1: %
Mobile: %
Web: %
Datacenter: %
Proxy: %
They can certainly do this.
But the graphs being made more accurate and with more metric bars would help greatly too as it takes it away from the seller, Along with buyers leaving statistical template feedback. Until then, sellers can do their bit as above.

So you see I don't have a problem with Udimi, otherwise i would have just left. I want to make it better.
I have tracking software so I can see EVERYTHING that goes on: Time spent, IP locations/addresses, proxies, bots, browsers used, platforms used, and all the rest. But I want my software to only be a confirmation of my solo ads, not to reveal unpleasant surprises. I wish sellers would be clearer BEFORE I find out for myself these 80% mobile surprises.
To that end, I suggest 3 things:
1) Buyer feedback be in the previously mentioned format:
Clicks ordered/received: 100/121
Optin rate: 36%
T1 (if not filtered): 87%
Mobile (if not filtered): 38%
Web (if not filtered): 5%
Sales: 2 - And at what price, frontend or in follow up sequence?
I understand Tommy saying you might get inaccuracies from newbies, but not nearly as inaccurate as "Good solo" which isn't accurate at all. This works perfectly well on FB.
2) Sellers putting these ballpark figures on their blurbs or on the "Buy Solo" page:
T1: %
Mobile: %
Web: %
Datacenter: %
Proxy: %
Then we can decide if we want to use any filters, without getting any 80% mobile surprises, or try another seller.
3) Those graphs' accuracy being improved
.....So the result is, the buyer can see what previous buyers' feedback stats are, see if they match seller's own stats and graphs, then buy with confidence. Then if the Solo ad we buy matches up too, we can re-confirm the service level in our own feedback, or if the stats don't match up, we can raise it with the seller to fix.
