Indeed, I agree with this, so more people would trust you, instead of being NOT trusted.
The thing with this, is how you start to make them trust you.
But overall, I agree with it.

You could start getting positive vouches by offering vouch copies to staff to build them. Then all of the trades would accumulate in a single area where you can see all deals done and their outcomes.

It's not supposed to stop foreign exchanges and abuse would be minimal as you could require proof to be shown. The reputation system can not, nor will it, address things better. If you look at a variety of rep logs, you can see ridiculous rep given for dumb reasons. An exit scammer will exit scam regardless, it allows people to have better faith in who they are dealing with and see who is an active seller, when the last sale was, etc.



That won't work as there are too many products being sold with too mang various payment methods. What about steam trades? Will they create a bot? What about for PayPal options, or Skrill, or Payza, GooglePay, Amazon Gift Cards, etc.

Fair enough wouldn't work with many platforms and mainly focus on BTC.

But taking it from the area this forum comes from BTC is quite familiar and straightforward if needed to be implemented in such a concept.

The area this forum is familiar with also incorporates PayPal, Google Pay, Skrill, Stripe and a variety of other methods. It's a case to case basis. How would you go about implementing this with physical products? Or licenses? Escrow systems are, in my opinion, only work properly if it's a currency exchange.

The vouch system will be straightforward. You say what you bought, sold or traded, provide proof, trek your experience. Then posts in the marketplace will have something like
4 | 1
in a marketplace postbit. ( Positive trades | Negative trades )

Doesn't the reputation system kind of act like the vouch system at the same time?
The vouch system is a good idea, but still does not prevail some logic issues such as what value apply's for a successful trade to prevent fraud.

For example, someone registers, starts selling third-party premium accounts at $0.20 a piece and acquires +positive vouches.
Three months later say he has 12 +positive trade | 0 -negative trades ; This doesn't stop him/her if need be to just scam a user.
My point is that you can't really put a label on what a successful tangible/intangible good or service is and at what value ($0.01 - ($1000) it stands at.

Like I said, I agree with your vouch system idea but it can be abused too, just like everything else.
