A good idea, but who wants to implement it.  I don't believe the list 
administrators would want this responsibility.  A rating system such as 
EEEE-Bay might work (if implemented) or an individual who wants to take the 
responsibility, maintain a database of complaints from other listees and 
share this information when requested from an individual contemplating 
trading, selling or buying from another listmember.  If someone would decide 
to maintain such a list, I would certainly provide input and request infor 
from them for future transactions.
