Many people who have bought Gmail accounts and/or invitations have received this message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, your account has been disabled. If this should not have happened, please contact our customer support at accounts-support@google.com.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has been discussed in other forums, but not this. |

| Yea. I believe these people are people who bought invites or accounts, which is against Gmail's TOS, at least that's what I'm hearing from other forums. |

If you were to sell an invitation on e-bay how how would they (google) figure out who sent it and who recieved it?

Google could ask eBay for the ip of the person who is selling it, then go back to Gmail and scan and look for that id. Once they found it they can look at who he send to. Go back to eBay and get the ip of the person who bought it. Match that with what the results of who he sent to. Then they can ban both the person who sold it and the person who bought it. Its that simple. Just getting ebay to work with them shouldnt be much of a problem. As it says in the tos that it cant be sold or something like that.
Hope that helps you out steve.

Hmm, I wonder how that works for peple with dynamic IPs? But, that's what they get for buying gmail.

| i think that the ban may be on account of misuse and spamming. But then who will admit the same in the forums. |

I'm pretty sure that there happy with all the current beta testers. I mean, theres only so far a test can go before the results of what has happened have been reported many times.
Also I'm not sure how many beta testers actually bother to go back to google saying whether or not there happy with the service or vice versa.

I am pretty sure that this is the end of the invites. It is too bad that a lot of people who wanted an invite didn't get one earlier and are unable to get one now. It is also bad that people bought up these invites and now those have been wasted. Hopefully Gmail will be open to the public soon. Man, I still don't know how they'll get so much server space and give it out to anyone for free. Just my 2 cents.
