I'm doing a survey about how people create and determine trust when buying and selling through classifieds, auctions, social networking sites, etc., i.e., building trust for the purposes of a single transaction, rather than an ongoing personal or business relationship. I'm especially interested in hearing your experiences with scams or flakes. There are a couple of open-ended questions in the survey where you can tell your story.
I know people may be hesitant about answering a survey from someone they don't know. If you'd like to know more about me before responding, you can see my bio here or here, and feel free to contact me with any questions. This isn't for self-promotion, just to let you know who I am. Identity builds trust.
I know the survey will take a little time (10 minutes or so) out of your day, so as a thank-you for your participation, you'll receive a copy of How to Use Google: The 60 Most Important Tips, Tricks and Search Shortcuts and Nancy Mills' How to Use Craigslist as a Global Publicity Tool. If you provide your e-mail address, I'll also send you a copy of the final survey results.

I hope you'll take a few minutes for the survey. I'd also greatly appreciate help spreading the word by announcing this in your blog, newsletter, social networking group/club/network, etc.
Thanks in advance,Scott Allen
