How to process Forum shipsale contract violations?

[Kharon]

To avoid this situation in the future, don't make big purchases from people you do not know or trust.

You can get bad behavior from people you know and concider(ed) trustworthy. You can never be shure nor can you, because of that, move responsibility to a victim unless there is clear evidence he/she should have seen it comming in a common sense.

That is what rules are for, and they are actualy the most proved and working concept of any community ever.

So i asume your proposed concept of "trust only who you think you can or dont risk" should only apply to issues/situations that cannot be controled/ruled/judged. But this is not the case here at all.
