Even Skype is rarely used and in many cases blocked from listings. Most fraud is caused by people engaging in activity off eBay. It's actually a good thing for the community at large. Sad, but true.</p>Sam DaoudFri, 05 Oct 2007 01:54:42 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/10/04/roundup-ebay-shuts-jajah-iphone-a-1b-ecosystem-verizon-google-spat-more/#comment-14678794<p>I always wondered why ebay didn't similary stamp paypal. Paypal would have gone bankrupt in no time, and we wouldn't have to hear about all these self-important idiotic paypal alumni.</p>cynicFri, 05 Oct 2007 01:43:37 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/10/04/roundup-ebay-shuts-jajah-iphone-a-1b-ecosystem-verizon-google-spat-more/#comment-14678793<p>You’ve got to like the analogy by the New York Times’ Brad Stone in his piece about Facebook.
