How about if a buyer had to deposit some earnest money in order to make
his first few purchases? That is, suppose that he had to deposit 20 bucks.
No buying anything until the deposit happened and Dan had the cash. For
purchases that he made before the first ones were completed, some portion
of that 20 was given to each buyer (maybe it paid the buyers portion of
the listing fee so there was no actual transaction that Dan had to worry
about other than an automatic bookkeeping entry) till it was gone.

Now I can think of a whole bunch of reasons why this won't work. If you
(the general you, not just Ray) post them you'll be missing the point. Try
to come up with some other ideas for this if you would... unless you
really think that bogus buyers are not a problem.

I don't think you CAN filter out the bogus buyers....  there will always be
some idiot trying to mess things up for other people, unfortunately. We,
IMHO, just need to deal with them case-by-case.
