Buying Gmail Invites ... PayPal !!

Bizarre · Jul 13, 2004

I'm buying Gmail Invites (only new invites, not ones that have already been sent to someone, i need the full email) through PayPal. I'm buying as many as you have. PM me offers.

Thanks

Google has now updated their Gmail terms to forbid the sale of gmail invites.
Based on that information, Google never allowed for the "Sell, trade, resell or otherwise exploit for any unauthorized commercial purpose or transfer any Gmail account" within its Gmail program policies.

odette, IMHO, you are interpetting the new Google policy wrong. It says accounts. it does not say invites. They can't stop people from exchanging invites for $ or barter, since it is an invitation.

The new policy change is to discourage people from regging up all the good names, so that the general public will only get shopgirl333, instead of shopgirl. And to keep people from having multiple account. The latter might be because Gmail doesn't handle multiple accounts in seperate windows, or so I've been told.
