Trusted Poal folks, can a marketplace here even be safely realized? I need your ideas.

I imagine, no matter how attentive to filtering out of glows our sheriff is, this place i call home is littered with enemies. Being aware of this possible fact, is there any possible way we can do business?

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I made a post about this frustration many months ago. Is it possible for one of us to do business with the other in a safe and anonymous way?

For instance, Poal user A publishes a request for a smartphone upgrade. Poal user B has said gadget in a drawer he wouldn’t mind selling for a reasonable price or even gifting. How?

For something being sold, there needs to be a financial transaction. For a barter, trade, or gift, A and B need to exchange delivery addresses. For anything being given or sold, delivery addresses need to be exchanged or provided.

Is this somehow possible?

I’ve tried to figure this out, and I just don’t have a method that prevents a crazy abusing a decent person.

Absolutely not.

There are those out there chomping at the bit to bring us down. Won't be long before users who use the "marketplace" suddenly disappear, only to show up in the local newspaper in an orange jumpsuit under the headline "Local racist jailed for untoward commentary about pedophiles"
