Say I'm selling BTC for USD, receive the fiat but then lie and say I didn't. Can the buyer force the release of sats held in escrow by providing proof of payment?

No, that's why we have Coordinators. Coordinators are individuals running a LN node and a Robosats specific software, when there is a dispute on the trade they get involved and act as intermediary.

As far, you are doing things right and can prove it, there is nothing to worry about.

Is there any way to have some type of privacy-preserving reputation system to protect buyers? Say when successful trades go through RoboSats issues some kind of signed certificate that can be used to demonstrate trustworthiness later. Something like that.

That's a topic long discussed in the Robosats community.

Our stand is that any anonymous reputation system can be tricked over a night and lead to false trust on an environment where it should not be any of it.

Interesting, yeah I suppose a lot of these schemes would be gameable
