I am not sure about the legal stuff, I wouldn't even know who to ask or where to look. I just see it like a craigslist/gumtree/ebay vibe buyer beware and you use it at your own risk versus paying the premium to use a 3rd party service.

So yes people will get scammed as always but I'm sure with a rating system and it kept on a blockchain, we can tag peoples addresses and you can have a rating per seller and buyer to drive more trust along with transaction history pulled from the blockchain

It won't be prefect by any means but I've done P2P transactions with people on HIVE, pop into a discord and we sorted it out ourselves
