And he has visited the forum via ip addresses linked to Miami, Nevada, and Nigeria. I am not saying that amounts to anything, just what the software shows me.

I sold a TSO 32” T-Square to a member I felt I knew from his posts. I don’t recall if I shipped first and then received the check, or if I got the check first and then shipped. I think I quoted a delivered price, but I’m not sure of that either.
The one thing I am certain of is I would deal with him again with no worries.
CORRECTION: It was a Woodpeckers’ T-square, not a TSO product. It does not change the intent of the post, but a factual error that needed correction.
Perhaps, a “good experience, approved seller” and a “good experience approved buyer” list. Maybe the “negative” list is what is making the moderators nervous. This list would only show the positives.

That would work for the bulk, but I think it sets up to throwing caution out the window, in the case of a hacked account you could blindly trust the seller in an "approved list" scenario.
I think you have to go with your gut, and evaluate the details, syntax, etc to help determine if it is someone you've been dealing with prior, or possibly it's been hacked, or is a scam.

I will make a correction above, but the T-Square was red anodized, and that would a Woodpecker’s product, not a TSO product. Doesn’t change the gist of the post, but was a factual error anyway.
The “approved” list would include the “approved” contact information. Or better, “Contact me with a PM with your seller’s contact information and I will confirm that it matches the information I have from my transaction.”
None of these suggestions sound exactly right. But the discussion is useful in my opinion.

While I haven't bought from the classifieds here, I had bought quite a bit on Marketplace. I really only buy from sellers I can pickup directly and give them cash. Or the dropoff/pickup thing.
On here, I would probably buy and have shipped an item from the regular suspects!
