There are precautions that you can take.
First take a look at their profile - trade detail. Scammers have been known to buy a Price Guide for one month, list some medium to hi value cards, make five or six fast trades to get great feedback. They will then make several trades and not send their part and disappear.
Second check out the traders who have left them feedback. Sometimes it is the same person using several screen names.
Unfortunately Beckett is little help in protecting traders. They don't tell you where a trader is from until you accept the trade. This is when you must check the list of bad traders and see if they are on it or at least the city they are from (They change screen names frequently). Not like the Bay where they tell you the city and state right up front.
Beckett could purge their database and archive all of the inactive accounts. They also have the ability to cross reference the members personal information. How many scammers have multiple credit cards to use when paying for their price guide. They are probably using the same card and same address for multiple accounts.
