Identity Confirmation: Coming soon to an eBay near you!

[pigletism]

How is Gixen going to deal with the recent announcement on ebay.co.uk (I take it there is similar going on around the world?)

see pages.ebay.co.uk/help/confidence/identity-confirmation.html

This is the end of sniping as I see it. Although eBay are giving different reasons for it.......

The key is in "If an attempt is made to sign in and list" - did you notice this "list"? Gixen does not list, only submits bids.

That said, of course ebay can kill sniping at any time. Do they have a reason to do so? I don't think so. The sniping services are sometimes just a collateral damage of efforts ebay does to fight fraud.

Cheers for the reply. It's just that further down it says

"we will be noting all the computers you use for buying and selling on eBay"

So we all know what's coming next

Cheers for the site Mario. It's great (and it saves me money!)
