Ok so I've lost $1800 in three months to scammers. Obviously, the immediate response is that I should be more careful, but currently there is no protection at all via Dropzone.com. And granted I don;t think they should be the middle-man for us but I think we should at least attempt to take a look at things and find out how we can make it safer to shop here. I'm to the point now where I suspect every ad there, and I know that's not fair because I have purchased things successfully and have had good experiences. So what can we do? One thing I would like to see is an address and phone number listing for people posting ads on the classifieds. That will at least let people know that there is some loss of anonymity when trying to sell or buy something there. Right now you can create an account, post a listing, and list NO information whatsoever on who you are. I can;t even put an add in the paper with that little information. Any ideas?
