Although the other two posts are very similar they both use block chains. I don't see why you need block chains for a web of trust.
This is what I propose for rating other account;
Each peer has one or more accounts;
Each account has a list of info about other accounts including ratings and comments.
Account rating is determined by spidering the other accounts on the network, and calculate the rating in much the same way google calculates pagerank.
So if someone else’s account has given you a bad rating, it wouldn’t carry much weight unless their account had a good rating itself.

Though I don't use eBay much myself, I think this is a great idea (especially if you can make it use a two party escrow system for the payment).
OK, just an idea I'm throwing out there.
Would people want a p2p version of eBay that uses bitcoins for payment and is based on web of trust with buyer seller ratings etc.
I realise there would be problems without being able to roll-back transactions, but would people be willing to risk this in order to cut out the middleman?
