As I mentioned earlier, I would like age of account should have some effect. You could still see if the account had trade references, so a long-time but no trade account would flag. I think there should be an impact to the rating system based on dollar value of the trades. Let's consider this: we both have 5000 point armies. You part yours out into 20 trades. You get 20 positive references. I sell mine in one lot (which is what I normally do) so I get 1 positive trade reference. The only real difference is that you paid to ship to 20 different people, whereas I took a loss (almost a guarantee) on the overall trade compared to you, and shipped to 1 person.
That would be cool. I tend to do $100+ trades. I know a guy who sold a bunch of warmachine stuff a blister or two a time a few years ago and his rating went to over 300 in a short period of time.

The good thing about Bartertown is I have traded or sold at least a dozen $500 armies in the past. Bartertown has been good to me.

Knock on wood...............I haven't been burned. There have been some disappointing trades but never lost any $$.

thanks again.

Your are absolutely correct, there is nothing stopping anyone from turning "rogue"
However that is a chance anyone takes no matter what thier rating.
However someone with a super high rating I'd personally give the benefit of the doubt to. Why? Becuase with that many trades, I'm more than positive to get just about any information I want about that individual if they do go rogue.
For every battle honor, a thousand heroes die alone, unsung and unremembered.
