Seven Marketplace Ranks, Without Pay-to-Win Trust
How RankValut makes buyer and seller activity visible without confusing spending, volume, verification, and reputation.
What shipped
Buyer and seller dashboards now show one of seven marketplace activity ranks, a progress bar, the next named milestone, and the exact activity still required.
- Buyer ranks: Recruit, Scout, Pathfinder, Challenger, Vanguard, Champion, and Legend.
- Seller ranks: Starter, Builder, Merchant, Specialist, Vanguard, Champion, and Legend.
- A public rank guide explains every threshold and limitation.
Why activity is separate from trust
Buyer progress counts non-cancelled order reservations. Seller progress counts active listings that passed marketplace review. Neither measure proves identity, delivery quality, or transaction success.
Rank currently changes profile presentation only. It does not alter fees, unlock payments, or move an offer higher in search.
What comes after payments
A future reputation system can use completed paid orders, verified reviews, delivery outcomes, and dispute history only after those records exist and anti-abuse policy is approved. RankValut will keep those facts distinct instead of compressing them into a misleading badge.
