I'm not sure if every PM logs are actually permanently logged but I heard that staffs can check the last 50 PM sent/received by a command, used for when someone reported for inappropriate word via PMs etc. Not sure if it's necessary to have a PM log just for the trades.
Scamming is legal but doesn't mean that people should be doing. But still their items are their responsibility.
On Era PC, there's a betflip for items, staffs are monitoring it and holding the items of betflippers to prevent scamming. I guess that's the kind of system you're trying to suggest. Maybe it's not bad to have some people trusted and have access to holding player's items so those people will check if the items being traded are the right items.
But we have around 1k+ players online daily, Era PC can do it because they have few players online daily and staffs can baby sit them. But in iEra, I think it's more important to monitor those players who're severely breaking rules.
