One of the biggest hassles on Ebay is deadbeats, and I have had the majority of deadbeats (and problem users) come to me via AOL.
The fact that AOL virtually allows unlimited amounts of e-mail ID's only underliones the irresponsability of Ebay in NOT requiring AOL users to be verified in some way.
No, verification will not solve all Ebay problems, BUT it will certainly make it a lot more difficult for the average jerk to mess with people's autions---OR is Ebay going to start reimbursing for lost listing fees as well as FVF's?
Hey Ebay: If you really want to improve your image and diminish this "wild west" appearance, VERIFY AOL USERS!!!!!!!
No, not all AOL users are a problem, nor are all hotmail, yahoo, or other basically anonymous sytem's users--but most of them have to verify.

Yes, but this thread is much more specific about a certain issue. Branching off into different topic directions within the same thread, just leads to very disjointed and off-topic threads.
