Also isn't it better to make a scammer jump through some obstacles before
being able to scam? this suggestion makes the seller do some work to gain access
to selling where NOW he can just scam, if it doesn't work he opens a new
account and starts again- so easy. having to make 10 purchases will make the
person get a paypal account (most scammers don't have PP they ask for wire
transfers)
This idea is good because it is simple to implement- it won't solve the problem
100%- but will over 90%

The risk is that for the scammers who put in that extra work, their account now
looks a lot more trustworthy, so when they move on to the scam, they are a lot
more likely to be successful at it. Ebay had a similar problem (I don't know
if they still do) -- sellers would sell a few dozen items for a penny, take
the loss, and then when their account looked great, with lots of praising feedback,
they'd flip it into a scam.
