MCM sided scam verification, what is technically and middleman thro the site. I do not know the details, but make an opinion to buy thro or not thro the MCM sided scam verification. This can be used on sales on Forums. It would be hard to do, but it would be possible. This might not be the first time this has been suggested.

No. 1. If either party scams, the site would have to swallow the blow. 2. Liability. There's only so much a TOS disclaimer can do. 3. It won't do shit when it comes to people that want to scam. They'll just scam the middleman.

The problem with making anyone officially 'Trusted' or 'Trustworthy' on the site is that it makes MCM look bad if one of them decide to scam. Unfortunately there's no way to completely stop scamming, even from trustworthy people, and if a trusted person scammed $5,000 I don't really want to have to pay that out of my own pocket.

Although major systems like this would be incredible and in theory eliminate scamming, it's not really realistic and would end up being abused. The solution to scamming isn't through one massive change, it's through many small changes and raising community awareness about how to not be scammed.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
