Or, hear me out - requiring new sellers to post their setup, their animals, their history etc.
Because for inexperienced buyers or one-time buyer, it reduces the risk. It shouldn’t be on the inexperienced buyer to protect themselves in a market they aren’t well-versed in. It’s easier to make the seller disclose - it may also reveal if they are experienced as well.
A seller wouldn’t be against these requirements if their operation is on the up and up. AND it would save a lot of questions for buyers in general if they just check their page. It reduces time and risk for both the seller and buyer.
From what has been described, with creating seller profiles, this market is like shooting fish in a barrel for scammers or just downright bad breeders.
