how about a change in the for sale section, not a huge one. Options

I am member of a couple of forums, and one thing i like, is that in one of them you are not allowed to sale if you are a newbie with less than 50 posts, and also once you start selling, if there is no picture of the item you are selling, it is not allowed. And if you do have a picture you must include your username with a piece of paper (and this is recyclable) in all your pictures. This just proves that the item is in our possesion. Just like the below picture i borrowed from somebedy.

It not only protects the buyer and seller, it just shows legitimate business and piece of mind, and not only takes but 5 extra minutes. Just a thought.

see below, we dont have to copy another website, but can we do something similar. like, just making a pic a necessary evil

as far as formal rules idk probably not worth it to enforce. but I like the idea of doing it and will probably due it for my future sales just to help the potential buys feel more comfortable about it. bottom like is no matter what buying on the internet is a risk, buying from an forum is an even bigger risk and always will be.

and fyi thoes pics with the names on paper above are way to easy to photoshop onto any plane white surface. needs to be written over a picture or something a little harder to place. IMO

I like the rating system on here (reputation percent) I think that adds a lot of comfort but I dont see it being used enough.
