Indeed, we will be looking at ways to discourage and minimize the chances of sellers deleting legitimate questions. We're investigating the addition of a stern warning before a post is deleted by the seller, as well as flagging each deleted comment with additional information about who removed it.

That way, if a potential buyer comes into an auction and sees that the seller deleted half a dozen comments, s/he can be extra cautious in asking all the right questions -- or skip the auction altogether.
