A more robust trading system is in the works. The current system was just available sooner so they released it when it was ready, but it was never intended to be a final version.
Also to avoid getting scammed, don't fall for scams.

I am glad this is the case. I despise that people were totally fine with the current system because "well, it is New Eden!" That's like seeing a carpenter build an A-Frame of a house and conclude that it is perfect because "people need to understand that weather is a real concern."
Well I think the act of scamming is totally a New Eden thing. However having no means to counter scamming on basic item trading is not. I mean this is such a low level scam that any idiot can do it. Scamming should take finesse and wit, not stiffing someone on a basic trade.
So yeah if you get scammed "Welcome to New Eden hurr hurr" but I mean come on, it's hardly something worth patting yourself on the back over if you screw someone with the current system. So is it great that we got basic trading? Absolutely. Is the system perfect as is? Hell no.

Everquest had them 16 years ago, just a real simple window. I am sure they have been around even longer than that though. I just don't get how it could have been hard enough or work intensive to not immediately release a trade window.
Well there we some tech issues with how item location data works, but I wont bother getting into that. My guess is that the old team had some unrealistic plan to make Dust like EVE where you ahd to physically move items around or something, and introducing the kind of trading we have now would break that.
Or they were just bad at their jobs and didnt prioritize important, basic features. Which is more likely.
