That's actually a LOT harder. ^^() It's not a bad idea at all and it's something that we've been pondering over for a long time. However, that would be a matter of developing an entire new system instead of just fixing the one we have.

On top of that, it turns out that we LIKE having a community-run marketplace instead of an automatically-mediated one, because it helps avoid automated abuses of the system (like buying low and reselling high just to drive up the prices so you can make a bigger profit).

We HAVE been pondering over a way to automate listings so it's easier to find people who are selling what you want, but right now it seems we at least want to keep the actual sales as human-to-human interaction.
