It is very important to remember that trade thrives on convenience first. We all enjoy the excitement of being free to browse and buy on the spur of the moment (even if it is risky). This is something LYN offers right now, and that is why it is successful.

I think the admin/mods will always have a difficult job monitoring the Forum for abuses. But they are doing it well, IMHO.
