My problem is without a proper ebay type feedback system - where the buyer rates each individual transaction, and there is some way for the seller to respond, it seems like it's open to abuse. As the transactions always occur behind the scenes, PM's etc, there's alot more room for interpretation, especially as classifieds does not have a strict set of rules regarding those transactions. People could start leaving neg rep because they had first 'dibz' but in reality didn't pm you for 3 weeks etc etc.
I don't really see why this is being brought in to be honest, having bought and sold on here and never had a problem. It doesen't seem to make much sense unless it's part of a much broader change to the classified section which would see it more akin to ebay. I love the 'Wild West' element of it, and it's much more fun and simple than selling through other means.
