Not only are there sellers who decide not to sell at the asking price, don't respond, etc., but there are buyers who take an item then renege. I don't see how you can really police any of it except by barring people from transacting, which is probably more work and headache than a "for fun" moderator wants to take on. Besides, can you imagine the mess it would create if you were to bar someone from trading and they would then complain you were wrongfully doing it, slandering them, etc. Just a colossal headache borne of good intentions.

My view is leave it as a very clear caveat emptor forum and tell people to handle their differences themselves. The bad eggs will be sorted out of the mix by reputation as word gets around.
