The rating system works fairly well and if someone has nothing but 5 star reviews then they are probably safe to deal with. As long as you are internet savvy and scam artist aware it's a great place to buy and sell guns. I've had zero issues but I am also very careful, a buddy of mine who got excited and wasn't careful got scammed out of 1500$. It's rare but it does happen.
    This is really the best advice - always ask for plenty of photos. Me personally, I would always be hesitant on dealing with someone with no reviews (no prior sales) and would always favour buying from someone with many reviews - you can find some sellers that have already had hundreds of transactions and plenty of 5 star reviews.

    My standard ask for "proof of life" photos is the classic newspaper article. I just ask for a photo of the item I am purchasing with an article with today's date in the photo. Doesn't matter if it's an actual physical paper or a website version on the screen. Either way you can check that the article actually exists.

    Other options are to ask for specific photos with the person holding up a certain number of fingers or certain item arranged a certain way.
