That is not really a problem, but a choice. People can still trade unsafely.. or go the absolute-certainty-scammer-free route and pay a little extra. Insurance money, as it were.

I would say both. In the case of account details; they are entered into the 'market system', at which point payment is made, and the account details automatically released to the buyer. You could even make it so that a new email and password have to be entered prior to acquiring the account (so no more 'this and that is my email and password, please change it asap).

In the case of resources, it is even easier, resources are deposited in the 'trade bank', from which they can only be withdrawn by the seller if the trade expires, and by the buyer if the trade goes through without a hitch.

Although add an incentive like 7% of the $ traded goes to the automated MM (aka AJ) and I think he will create it in no time

Heh. Admittedly, that is a minor risk, but we know how little *that* happens.
