Can't legislate common sense and civility, nor can you mandate healthy doses of skepticism by buyers - judious use of the feedback and ignore function works wonders for those inclined to be informed, careful shoppers.

"The law" of Western civilization, going back hundreds of years, has been developed and fine-tuned to treat parties to a deal fairly and put the hardship, if one party has to "lose" something without full compensation, on the party who has done wrong or been negligent.
Our basic contract law for private parties selling their personal property is not all that complicated, but it's very different from the "rules" here about what we are expected to do (and how we should treat each other) if we don't want to risk getting negative feedback on our profiles.
I'm saying this website could have EITHER a restatement of the rules, but placed in a more visible location so people will see them and think about them even without either party considering "negative feedback" and researching that topic...
... OR, instead of just restating the existing rules, we CHANGE THE RULES to be a better fit to the law of contract formation.
That change would, in summary, say that once certain critical terms of the deal have been stated and explicitly (or implicitly) agreed to, and each party has said or done things that show that they consider the deal to be finalized with no further negotiation, then the person who said they will buy the gun must buy it, and the person who sells the gun must follow-through with selling it, EXCEPT if there is fraud or a significant misrepresentation.
In other words, the bottom line is that I'm proposing that people here are told that you are expected to do what you say you will do, unless you have a really good reason not to. No backing out of a deal on a whim. (Of course for used guns, there's always a "way out" based on the condition of the gun not being good enough to the buyer upon personal inspection.)
We could have a list of things that MUST be included in a deal, and if neither party mentions these things, there is no deal. An example might be the price, or a price range based on in-person inspection of the weapon's condition.
We could have a list of "default provisions" that cover situations where the parties are silent, and then the rules of ODT would state that if the parties did not address this and agree to some other provisions, these default provisions will apply. One such default term and condition could be that payments are expected to be in the form of cash, U.S. currency (paper money) only. If you want the ability to pay by check, PayPal, or poker chips, just be sure to explicity make that one of the terms of your deal.

Only a lawyer could write that...
