Well eBay has always dealt with hoxes (fraudulent and/or comical) like the sale of the Year2000.com domain name. In March, eBay said they were cracking down on bids over $5,000:"In examining past prank bids, eBay found that many of them were placed either by people who didn't have credit cards or who would have been discouraged from placing such bids if they were required to submit their credit cards, company spokesman Kevin Pursglove said.
The new requirement is meant solely to discourage prank bids. eBay will not charge customers' credit cards for the amount they bid, nor hand over their credit card number to sellers, Pursglove said."
