| and forth disputes between the supposed scammer and the scammee. I've seen that happen in the past when someone gets called out and the thread quickly fills a page between people saying "He did right by me" vs. those saying "I've left XX emails and he doesn't respond". Also, how many times have you seen someone called out as a scammer by a person who was too impatient to wait for the mail to deliver their purchase or didn't even make the effort to call the seller? How would you get that person's name cleared in the event it was a mistake? I think what Gramon did with posting a link to a seller's post history in the classifieds is an excellent step towards equipping a potential buyer from getting scammed. Perhaps a modification to that approach would be to make that a one-click search feature to pull up posts that involve that person. I don't know, it's only a suggestion. All I know is that I tend to buy from people that I can personally verify are upstanding individuals. If I can't get a good read on the seller, then I don't need the part that badly, or I'll wait until Bernie gets another parts car in his garage. I don't mean for this to come off as condescending but it's not rocket science. Dave
