German police searched a house and seized stuff for months in one case[1], Amazon reversed gift credit in another[2].

Obviously this is no proof that fraud is rampant, but I still lean toward thinking fraud is too likely for me to want to be involved with using purse.io, especially if I wanted a good deal (big discount = more likely it's a carder cashing out a stolen card.) If nothing else these stories show there's a small chance you might get burned pretty badly. Has anything significantly changed to remove or lessen the risk?

Restrictions on buyers (unverified users are limited, 6 levels), social verification, behavior analytics (sift science), among others. User was made whole, police dropped the case, and we introduced $10,0000 guarantee. Not an excuse, but we were a team of 2 when that transaction happened, and it was 3 months after we started while we were in an accelerator.

I have to admit, I asked the question rhetorically expecting that nothing has changed, but it's good to know some progress has been made.
