No. I am telling you from 6 years experience that most traders who try to sign up as a trader and scam members with a large grouop buy or similar fast one couldnt afford to pay 6 months up front and would not give me so many personal details before doing so. This isnt a hunch, its a fact learned from running these sites for years.

TBH i don’t think there is much you can do to stop any trader ripping anyone off
No, all we can do is deter teh opportunist. Pretty much the same as having a car alarm, it only deters opportunists.
I do think that to trade on here you must have a valid VAT number as this would 100% make sure they are a commercial business and not some fly by night.
There are plenty of legitimate non vat registered traders around mate.
