  BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
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.

Isn't the genuine character of both buyer and seller usually proven by the members
feedback. Members with good feedback are usually genuine and honest, and it is
easy enough for a cautious member to check this feedback before buying from a
store, and then making their own decision based on this information. The crooked
members tend to stick out like sore thumb through the feedback system. If you
start implementing the need for credit card verification then it is discriminating
towards anyone who doesn't hold one or believe in credit, so has never applied
for one.
