In reference to your first point of "Should a person who says, "I'll buy it" be held to it? Ie, if they back out of the transaction 2-3 days after saying they'll buy it, is that grounds for a complaint?"
I would suggest a basic rule of 'offer and acceptance' that confirms the sale.
Seller places add, potential buyer makes offer to buy, seller accepts offer. From that acceptance both have entered into a 'binding' agreement as stipulated by 'the rules'.
And yes, if a buyer or seller backs out after that point then that could be grounds for complaint. If a buyer posts/emails an "I'll buy it" then that should in all fairness be considered a genuine offer to the seller that will be binding if accepted.
