Pretty simple. Its called accountability.
You don't follow the rules, you loose the privilege. We can all do our part. How hard is it to have to say, "I'll take it" in the initial thread and do everything else you're not comfortable with via DM. After all its luck of the draw to whomever sees it first, and pulls the trigger.
I'd rather have the I'll take it on the original post and if the deal falls flat for any reason it goes to the next person. It helps if the seller puts in all the wants in the original post. Money options, what's included what isn't, and what is up to the buyer above the initial price like insurance or type of shipping. Or you can work it out via DM, and if not happy as a buyer the next man or gal up has their turn in order from the original post.
The other option is to have all the backdoor BS of DMs, and people being upset, which is becoming more frequent.
It protects both parties, and it will be clear as day instead of mud. It doesn’t have to be patrolled, just enforced for either party that breaks the rules set in place. Yes, some may still get screwed out of something, but the instigator will loose their privileges.
