Good point, although the feedback needs to be linked back to the user it is about otherwise checking a list would be terribly onerous.
Ebay has this kind of system, however it has its good and bad points. Good you can see a history, but not so good if you have unreasonable people leaving feedback because they are miffed if Australia post or the courier did not follow any instructions or stuffed up.
There needs to be a solution which makes it harder for scammers but does not make it difficult for legit people ... sounds like we are asking for a perfect world which may not exist! Just wish there were not so many people out there willing to scam others - just is not right (yes there are many people out there that are fantastic as well - had some great transactions both buying and selling). I know I always ask a buyer to get back to me about receiving the item and get great feedback that way. Think one item I had way back the person identified an issue I was not aware of so we discussed and all he wanted was a partial refund for a simple fix and was happy to oblige or take the item back at my cost. Just did not know much about binos at the time and they were a cheap pair.

I've had some great experiences buying from fellow members and it feels like that information should be passed on to the community, but there's no way of doing so outside of making a new thread every time a transaction is completed.
A suggestion would be to have a master feedback thread that everyone can post in when they have a pleasant transaction. Eventually it will be tedious searching through every page looking for someone's name to see if they are legit, but it has to be better than not sharing that information at all right?
