the credit card.
The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.
Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.
I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Resistance is futile.

All these things are subject to "get arounds" by crooks and whilst there has
been much talk on here lately of crooks, this place is, in my experience, one
of the safest places to trade as a buyer or seller. I think this forum must give
the opposite impression to new members and this is simply not the case.
That said, I'd love to see some sort of "bonded seller" scheme where sellers
have proven themselves to Admin sufficient enough to "guarantee" in some way
their dealings. I think though this would be much more work for Admin than requiring
a credit card and of course could be argued to swing things in favour of a crooked
buyer (those too are very few here).
Net, I don't think the problem is big enough or the solution obvious enough at
this time but I'd be interested in working on it if Admin ever saw the need.
