I think the tricky situation here is one of positioning. Of course Kickstarter wants something as close to what a payments platform might get in terms of accountability for the transaction, but they're providing a curated marketplace for these projects. Closer to eBay or AirBnB... both of which have ended up with really similar challenges to tackle.

At the very least it seems like it shouldn't be that challenging for them to at least be prepared to aggressively deal with flat-out fraud.
