Hopefully this system will be optional for participation. While it does allow for an email trail (and likely it is being implemented to assist in dispute resolution maybe?), it also adds a lot of complexity and unneeded overhead. What other things does it add that extend the useful buying/selling experience? I can't really think of any offhand. Many transactions dont' need this complexity - one round of email (or maybe two or three at most, for some people) should cover most things. How will the system handle offers via this system and normal offers via email? Seems there could easily be overlap.
A feature that I personally would find MUCH more useful, would be transaction-based feedback, so that feedback could be connected to a particular item listing.
