For new legitimate users, they hate waiting the 30 days and 5 posts. But they soon get over it and wait out their time.
Obviously it's frustrating when they want a quick sale etc.
It's also clear that it doesn't weed out ALL the unwanted types either. However the number of 'scams' compared to the number of successful transactions, is an absolutely tiny percentage.
Like I've always said - if you want to / or feel like you need to be extra cautious, get their phone number, get their address, ring them first etc.
Verify they're a real person and are who they say they are.
