if wrong documentation is produced, buyers have the right to dispute / return the equipment for a preset period of time. we get the sellers to certify the verifications they upload.
I'm not saying this is bad, or any worse than other marketplaces, but essentially a direct contract would typically have these 'protections' too. How do you enforce 'you can get a refund in xx days if you're unhappy'? Are you holding the funds in escrow for that period of time or is this a direct buyer<>seller contract term that you have no way of enforcing on behalf of the buyer?
