Totally agree with you, definitely not saying to only trust coining... There are many avenues to use judgment in addition to coining in order to validate someone without strong experience/reputation on a particular site when buying.

If i'm making a large purchase I check other references like ebay, their social media, linkedin and we message each other from there to confirm their identity. There's also a simple phone call or video call. Check references, etc.
