The free market is grounded in trust.
Nothing illustrates that more than what I am doing buying a gun via Gunbroker.
The seller trusts that I will send him the money. He also trusts that the people running the web site will punish me if I renege on paying for my purchase. He's got a bit of leverage here since he's in possession of the product, no money no shippy.
As the buyer, I am tossing a non-trivial amount of my hard scraped together cash into an envelope and trusting them to ship the item promised in the auction.
Because I am a C&R FFL and not a more normal one, I also have to trust a third party to accept the shipment of the gun and not substitute a less valuable item in its stead. Or, worse, claim they never got it and sell it themselves.
