Should all wires be not allowed? Should people that sell have either there bank account/credit card etc tied to there name like in Paypal? Maybe donate $5 via your Credit Card or Bank account to this forum to be able to sell to prove who you are and be verified some way thats pretty full proof?
There has to be a safer way so people here are not taken advantage of and loose there hard earned money. This is also making me sick thinking about it!

The main thing is to really Buy The Seller, esp in these scarcity days. Patience is a real virtue now, don't fall for the hype and rush to grab a "bargain". Really cash on collection at your bank is the best method for both if unknown parties.
TRF is for enthusiasts so it is unregulated and anything else would probably create too much work.
