C'mon, we all know bought ebay accounts are only going to end up used for one thing - SCAMMING! Whether it's shill-bidding or outright fraud the end result is some type of rip-off. Why are we encouraging it by allowing them to be bought and sold via DP? Please BAN the sale of eBay accounts.

Thats something new, people selling Ebay accounts? Didn't know it was possible... Should it be banned? Of course... It's just like people selling parking accounts (this started recently too)
I agree, I find that such buying and selling are not very ethical. Those who know should report to ebay and have them banned!
What is wrong with buying ebay accounts? It doesn't mean people are using it to scam. The newer accounts require you use paypal or a merchant account to sell. I don't want to do that. I like money orders and checks. So, I like to use an old ebay account to condunct business. Plus, ebay bans accounts for no good reason (many people would agree with me). Ebay has a program that searches for suspicious activity. For example, if you create a sellers account and start selling 5 similar things the first day you open the account, your account will get shut down. Why? Because that is what ebay tells their system to do. It doesn't mean you are trying to scam people or defraud them like ebay does. Oh, did I say that? Ebay scaming people? Never...
I am certainly glad he brings up the old thread. The Big Boss speaks, now we know for sure that ebay accounts sales are not allowed
