  BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.

The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.

Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.

I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Yea, sorry but i had many transactions where it was bad enough that i didnt want
to leave a postive, but didnt feel the need to leave a neutral or neg.

  I find it somewhat frustrating when buyers don't bother leaving feedback, as
that is the scale by which we Bricklinker's measure ourselves. They generally
receive the benefit of the feedback sellers give, but often do not give in return.
I have this suggestion.

If a buyer does not leave feedback after 6 months, automatic feedback is given.
The feedback should be marked "positive" and the comment be "automatic".

This action registers a successful sale and coincides with the deletion of the
record from the system. As it is, feedback cannot be changed after that point,
so no harm would be done. If the buyer has a problem, they will already have
addressed it. However, if it was a good sale and the buyer just didn't bother,
then it should be automatically registered and noted as such.

It is true for a bill passed by congress. If the President doesn't sign it,
after so many days it automatically becomes law.

Thoughts...
