It was almost immediate that we started to see Pope Benedict items and memorabilia come onto the site. Right now, much of the world's attention is on Pope Benedict and so it is not a surprise for us to see numerous Pope Benedict listings on the site.

This isn't new. We announced a Safe Payments Policy back in October 2005, and began implementing it in January 2006. It governs the types of payments services that sellers can market in their listings. Of course, due to the nature of eBay being a marketplace, we can't monitor or control how buyers and sellers actually complete payments and transactions.

Ultimately, this is between the buyer and seller. This is just a venue.

Ebay gets 3.5 million listings daily. So there's no way to accurately capture what percentage of those listings represent unwanted holiday gifts.

We haven't made any decisions yet, but we think (click-to-call) is an important component to e-commerce down the road.

That sort of thing sometimes happens on high-profile listings, its what we call bogus bidding — people just bidding with no intention to pay for it. People sometimes do that because they think it is funny, and it's not.
