At least a restricted account wouldn't stop them buying completely.
If eBid just let errors in addresses &/or phone numbers go through, then there would be nothing to stop the idiots who sign up with false details, & bid on lots of items they have no intention of buying. I know lots of people lie about their details when they sign up to feebay, but I don't think allowing it is the way to go here.
B) In the UK if you & the buyer had the same Zip Code you would be very close neighbours or live in the same house.:eek:
