Google has added a line to their Gmail program policies this week stating that members are not allowed to “sell, trade, resell or otherwise exploit for any unauthorized commercial purpose or transfer any Gmail account.”
The change came as a result of Gmail accounts being traded, sold, and transferred as a hot commodity. Websites have sprung up all over the net in order to help facilitate the Gmail account trade, and accounts have been spotted for sale on eBay. Several forums and discussion groups have also been set up to sell or help the the account trade.
