Sites such as cii, have a trader raiting system.
There's both good and bad on this one. It always sounds like a great idea and is good in principle.
I know on Cii it caused no end of problems at first with wars waging across the board for weeks in some cases. We ended up moving to a more e-bay related system that Corey implemented. The downside there we found was that people didn't seem to like it as much and it seems to have fallen into disuse.
E-bay allows its 'rebuttal' area as well.
I believe Gateway uses yet another system with attempts at fail-safes.
My only advice there is to foresee the kinks in advance as vendetta's or personal battles can get ugly there.
Overall though on forums that are big enough or have enough trading it's a good idea IMHO.
