Sales corner here requires you have 250 posts before selling in order that you have some level of reputation in the forum community, as some measure of your trustworthiness. You are not just some nomark who has popped up out of nowhere. And if you do act in bad faith, then you may be outed as a villain.
Chrono24’s approach does not require any trust in the buyer or seller, instead you place your trust in Chrono24, and their reputation, which, in my experience, is pretty damn good.
