Something simple like that, or what are the other options?
It's really a matter between the site's owner/s and the vendors who aren't and can't be verified so we know they're good to go, or good to pay back members if they bomb out.
The vendors are hiring space here to sell their goods, they pay the site's owner/s for the privilege, but they don't pay an insurance deposit in case they damage the place, so the members take the financial risk and I don't think it has to be that way. I think if scammers can get in here too easy it will kill the place eventually.
I reckon a deposit is a no-brainer to keep the low level scammers out - that would change the vibe here enormously and probably attract more genuine vendors too. What self respecting business wants to sell where there's so many scammers coming and going. It's an idea I propose for some discussion and I think it's workable, or at least worth trying out.
Probably needs a thread of its own. What you reckon?
