GMail sellers beware, Google wants to stop people profiting from the trade in popular e-mail addresses.

Search giant Google has updated the program policy for GMail on Monday adding clauses that ban the sale, trading, reselling or exploiting of GMail accounts for commercial purposes.

Like the early days of the domain name boom some people have been creating GMail accounts that could be snapped up by speculators.

The change is aimed at those wanting to cash in on the scarcity of GMail accounts rather than those swapping invitations to open a new account.

For Complete News Please Visti the link below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3859501.stm

the exact words in the Gmail program policies are:

"In addition to (and/or as some examples of) the violations described in Section 3 of the Terms of Use, users may not:
(snip)
.
Sell, trade, resell or otherwise exploit for any unauthorized commercial purpose or transfer any Gmail account.
(snip)
."

so hey, apparently selling, trading, reselling, exploit, and transfer of a Gmail invitations are still allowed

[Valhalla1]

whats the deal with the invites, I got 6 and immediately used them up and everyone was saying they immediately give you 6 more or whatever but its been a few weeks now and no more invites...

did they turn off the invite spigot or is it just me

 

[Noirish]

i think it's beginning to run dry.
either they are limiting the invites because of the huge number of accounts out there or they are ready to roll it out.

 

[LongAce]

I've got no more invites either. They gave me one after one week and none since then. It's been more then 2.5 weeks.

[yahoospider]

It seems everyone is waiting for weekend.... Guys the key to get invitees links is to use as much GMAIL as u can.. and the way is to send as much mails using GMAIL.... I hope some one will let me also have such kind of pleasure to use the GMAIL and increase the GMAIL family......

Waiting for an invitee link preferably in my PM....

[brtspears2]

One invite, quote this with your email and I'll choose who gets it. You PM me, you lose!
