    "You were moaning that eBay stated you had no rights and that it was perfectly legal to sell your account. As you are aware, it is against the terms which you agreed to in order to play Runescape. It is also against eBay's policies (and has been for years), plus there's the fact you were too young to have an account (again you agreed to these terms to sign up), so I don't see how you can feel justified for criticizing eBay for their actions."
    Under 18 year olds do not have a 'contractual' structure, so it's up to the company to check if the person applying is over 18 or not.

    "Jagex is a great company, they're good people, so please don't criticize them for your wrongdoings. Don't forget, this site is primarily for game development talk - as such, you'll find people who work in the industry here. Don't be surprised to find that we'll stick up for colleagues and friends in the industry!"
    As I said, I've not nothing wrong with jagex, it's ebay that I had the problem with.

    Well, the whole Microsoft/eBay thing reeks of stupidity. We might as well start making the whole search bot thing totally useless by wasting eBay's time on stuff like this:

    Xbox development debug kit DVT Mac'n'cheese - Brand new, never eaten by any developer. Great during crunch time.

    Make T-shirts with a drawing of a dev kit. See if Microsoft remove them.

    My appeal was heard and won.

    Hello eBay, Please accept this message as verification that Microsoft has reviewed the auction noted below, posted by eBay vendor “nihon_gamers” [hellokevin11@yahoo.com].

    #130416725081 Xbox development debug kit DVT box

    After further review, Microsoft has no objection to the reinstatement of this auction.

    Thank you.

    that's great. It'd be funny if ebay thinks so otherwise and keeps your account suspended.

    I've got a sealed copy of Windows for Workgroups 3.11 I was thinking about throwing on there. I wonder if they'll take that off?


    Anyways. I really think you should do the XDK soap thing.
