I think it would be an amazing idea if you implement a system where:
1. Buyer/coder communicate, and the project is awarded to a certain coder. The price is decided.
2. The buyer "pays" the money, but it is stored in VBulletin's secured account or something, and it is not "released" until the coder finishes their work and the buyer agrees to release the money.
3. The communication should take place in a "private thread", however if there is a discrepancy in the end - if both parties agree, the thread can be viewed by a staff member. And for providing this safety feature/staff, VBulletin should get a certain amount of the $. (Like 2-3% or perhaps more)
Just my 2 cents.
