E-bay tries to keep itself legitimate by posting satisfaction quotients on every listing. One would not be confident of buying from a seller with an 85% approval rating, whereas they would be confident that a seller with 99.5% satisfaction is trustworthy (this is called feedback by e-bay people). The hucksters that sell prayers and psychic readings are not likely to have good feedback so they are merely cluttering up a venue that is trying, vigorously, to maintain the perception as a legitimate source. Megabucks are involved here so they are wise to seperate the wheat from the chaff.
I would not know all this stuff but my wife is a fair sized E-bay seller who would kill in order to keep her 100% positive feedback.

I have 100% good feedback, and I know just how insanely important that title is.

Not possible as the building society already held the deeds on it. |

They've tried. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2001-02-09-ebay-soul.htmPersonally, I don't think you should be able to sell things that don't exist.   |

Ah, but time machines, unlike religion, are plausible. They've proven it's possible to fly into the future in such a way that time progresses more quickly inside the vessel than it does in the space around it. What I want to know is what this time machine on eBay looked like. And whether it was blue or not. |

I wonder if I could sell my rapture insurance on eBay? If. Could underwrite the policies I could make a killing. I guarantee I could find 5,000 dummies willing to part with the low monthly fee of $5/month for the piece of mind if their left behind family members. $7 includes pets. $10 would be a small circle of friends. I could clean up between $25 and 50 grand a month!
