Here are tips and steps about how to increase your rating:  

Tip #1

Update your profile. From the minute you registered, you receive your user profile with your personal web address (URL). So start from uploading a picture. Then, write a few lines about yourself (or your business). Put some links. Remember: your profile on Pikaba is like your shopping myspace. Expect people to visit it. So pimp out your profile and make it cool.  

Tip #2

Buyers. Requests are the heart of your Pikaba experience. So post as many “wanted” or for sale requests as you need. Receive extra rating points for each.  

Tip #3

Sellers. You’re here to sell something, right? Don’t be shy and submit your products on Pikaba, including your eBay listings. Each product you submit will bring your more rating points.   

Tip #4

Add friends to your Pikaba network and you’ll be able to share your shopping needs or ideas with them. Say, create a poll and they will quickly help you choose. There’re a number of ways you can expand your network. For example, you can send invites to the contacts in your email address book, invite from a social network, find people on Pikaba or just send an email invite. You'll receive the most rating points for this action.
