My original suggestion on this issue, going back months, was the one that SR adopted. Buyer stats showing completed transactions and a refund issue rate. This has allowed sellers to put up benchmarks for buyers and enact protections we didnt' really have the option of recommending. I'm happy to say that since these stats came out, I have not been scammed ONCE on over 150 transactions.If we wanted to enhance it a bit, the next step would be to add on an "autofinalize %". This would cover all non-disputed transactions, since refund rates would go into a different category. This is essentially the last piece of buyer feedback a good seller needs. This would allow us to discriminate on how active our customers are at completing their end of the deal. That has been my only complaint since the buyer stats were implemented - I have a mostly awesome group of customers, but a few of the one-offs or very rare buyers often let it go to autofinalize. I would rather be able to say "hey, if your autofinalize rate is over 10%, I can't do "normal" business with you. I have this option you can check out, and if not there are other sellers I'm sure would want to deal with you." - If not, it encourages buyers to keep on top of things without taking anything away from them or putting a proverbial gun in their ribs.The sellers with the highest volumes and best ratings are the ones that work hard to make sure our customers are getting good product at a good price and as safely as possible. I look for buyers to comment on my shipping just as much as my product quality, because it doesn't matter if you have the best product on the planet - if you are packaging like an ignorant ass, your customer is not getting it at best, and is at worst now at high risk of being on the brunt end of the state's billy-club. The best sellers also attract the best customers - a scammer can look at a seller with a low feedback rating and say "hey, this guy is hurting for business. He is more likely to take the bait, and at the least I'll get a 50% discount on some decent weed". It's also up to us, as sellers, by keeping the standards of our business as high as possible, to attract the good guys. if someone tries to scam me, I can say to SR "hey, the last 100 transactions I did have 0 issues. This guy, who has been here for all of 3 transactions, MAY have lost his package, but the numbers aren't exactly in his favor". A potential scammer will know this going into the transaction. It's not worth his time to try to rip off one of the good guys, because he gets less chance at a take.I think buyers buying their accounts wouldn't change much. And not for the fact that some like to jump on the old "LE" bandwagon, because that horse has been flogged near-death with zero substance behind that whip. It would just keep buyers away. We want the community to grow. It's up to everybody to kind of watch everybody, to assume all of the time that there is a chance you are talking to someone who could hurt you. But there is also an equal chance that you are talking to someone whose life you can benefit by offering them products they have a hard time finding (or might get beaten and robbed in the process of acquiring), or whose family you can feed by doing some business with them. This is a community. It's not a "buyers vs. sellers" thing. We all benefit from each other, but we all have to keep each other accountable.
