That was certainly an interesting test of concept @alketcecaj, and certainly a new way of trading for me, but i think as we know our trust in each other grew as the transaction went through, and helps to make stronger friendships here on the platform.

I suppose one way to combat the trust issue is something like an eschrow acct on steemit which releases depending on the terms, certain amounts once milestones have been reached. So for example if you buy a book on steemit for 10 sbd, once you have received a valid awb 50% is released, and then on arrival the remaining is released. If none of the conditions are met it’s released back to the buyer. The buyer could then have an option to blacklist the seller if need be.
