Recently I started buying on Ebay and as luck would have it, I was also ripped off for about $395. This means that now I have some experience with the Ebay feeback system, their support group, fraud investigations and more things than what I wanted to experience. About the time I was devising a plan on how to make trading safer, Verant announced that they were going to add in the new clause in the user agreement. I wrote to them (to everyone I could get an email address) and asked them to hold off on the plan until I had a chance to present my proposal on how to reduce auction fraud. Two days later Verant made the change. I personally feel that Verant is going in the wrong direction. They have a history of solving problems by surgical means. In other places (maybe here too) I have posted over the years over the need to create virtual objects that could be moved, traded, or sold. I advocate such things as LEDO (limited edition digital objects) and believe there is a huge potential for the virtual market. I don't claim that trading on such a place as Ebay is going to lead to a new virtual business. But it's a start. And for some of us that have participated we have picked up some new ideas. frank _______________________________________________ MUD-Dev mailing list MUD-Dev#kanga,nu <A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00169" HREF="msg00169.html">[MUD-Dev] Sony to ban sale of online characters from its popular gamingsites</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> "F.
