I sell quite a bit of vintage music gear on Reverb. I initially had some struggles with customers, but they seem to have mostly kept riff raff out. I think the fact that its still slightly a niche site keeps the volume down low enough to keep humans involved. As they were recently purchased by ETSY, Im wondering if this sort of service will start to drop off. Fingers crossed, Im selling a vintage Oberheim right now that I would be sick if a similar circumstance happened...
I stopped using ebay for the reason that most of the sellers just werent trustworthy enough. Amazon keeps trying to blur the line between marketplace and the company, which IMO is a bad move. I think they should run it in a similar manner than reverb, charge higher fees to pay for it(within reason) and actually do something to scammers on both sides of the transaction...
