    There's lot of trash on sale in "Buy&Sell" section and just to save peoples money, how about making it a strictly moderated section? By this I mean when someones want to sell something (be it a money making method ebook or anything else.) and before the sales thread goes in public the seller must give a free copy of the method for a person or a team gathered from highly trusted and honest DP members like GetJimmy and alikes and they could review and test it and if it seems ok for their eyes it could go sale on public.

    There's just too much scam and useless stuff on sale there, so this could be a money saver for a lot of people :)

    It's impossible to review every thread in the BST section. Leaving -ve iTrader is the best thing you can do to avoid others buying from a scammer. You could also try to report such threads, but I can't guarantee that we will take action cos it's very hard to know whether it's a scam or not.

    That's ridiculous... so you think people should have to give away free copies of their work just to make you feel better? And you mention e-books as an example, but what about services (people get scammed that way too)? Should we all provide free services? Get real. One person's (or a group's) opinion doesn't determine a product's actual value. Just be a smart consumer online the same way you have to be offline... no one's going to step in and hold your hand during the buying process. We already have rep, iTrader, etc. to give you at least a little more information on sellers. It's up to you how you use it, and how you otherwise research what you're buying. And as Katy said, we can't moderate every thread, and can't always make a judgment call on what's a "scam" and what isn't.
