Buy, Sell or Trade access via log-in only?

[Lynn Eades]

Hi Hanno, my line of thought is that at least here, we have some idea of who we are dealing with. There are other mediums by which non forum members can sell things. MLU is a relatively small group with common interests and rightly or wrongly this feels like a safer place to do deals than for example E-bay.
I just assumed that this is the way it is (That only forum members can buy and sell via MLU)

I note that a kiwi has recently become a member with no name, showing no location, (other than NZ) and no other details.
I thought that wasn't supposed to happen?
