Personally even that doesn't worry me as my scopes are protected by my 'Security System'

Contact with the person via PM only is the way to go.
When in contact with that person, if you have any qualms ask for a phone number and address,the latter would be needed to send the object anyway.
Contact them a number of times to gauge the veracity of their sale.

I have bought stuff on icetrades without any problems,but then I only buy from people I know on iceinspace for a while.

The info would be made available only when you commit to buy and the seller agrees to sell. So just a "BUY" or "SELL" trigger. Then the contact details are automatically exchanged. If the profile/address/phone is incomplete or chonky then you know what to do. It's a no-no. That's pretty easy to implement. My point is that anybody with an incomplete profile, not the public profile but the registration profile, has no business trading anonymously.
