This terrifies me a little, if there's no failsafe against scamming then the system will basically be dead on arrival, and it'll just make people mad. Either a bunch of Chribba-style middlemen pop up out of nowhere (Which I'm totally willing to do if anybody wants, scout's honor) or nobody trades for fear of getting shafted.

Err, Eve's system works because there's already a marketplace. I'm all for scamming, believe me, but forcing people into getting scammed because that's the only way to feasibly trade with other players is just bad for the user experience. There needs to be SOME kind of failsafe, I mean hell, you can't even chase the other player down and kill them or force them to return the goods like you can in Eve. Once you put up your end of the bargain you're completely at the mercy of the other player. That's just not healthy design.

Better ways to trade are obviously known. They either depend on both being on the server for handshake, send item claim in email, which requires major backend work, or auction houses which is a huge undertaking.
This simple method allows trading to happen, at all and I would rather spend a part of our resources on other features.
Fair enough.
Now I just need to figure out how to market myself as trustworthy  I'm honorable I swear
