I have bought and sold quite a bit of gear through IIS and have never encountered a single problem. The only rule I use is to buy from people I have had conversations with on the forum and who have been around a while and I always request registered and insured post. If I am selling I go out of my way to present the item warts and all in the ad and will only post the item once the money is deposited and showing in my account. Again I will only ever send goods by registered and insured post and spend a little extra to make sure I recieve notification when the item is delivered. I let the buyer know when the item is sent as well as the registration number. That said I still think it would be a good idea to have some sort of registration system in place to allow people to sell on the forum and I think this would be far better then restricting people based on post count.
