what's this new "approved bidders only" thing on ebay?

Note: This listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only.

Email the seller to be placed on the pre-approved bidder/buyer list.

I've only seen it on expensive items...things that get a lot of fake bids

I guess it's supposed to avoid some 15 year old bidding on a ferrari just for kicks...

It isn't exactly new ...

It is to cut down on people who will bid and not pay!

It's so people who have no interest in actuallying buying the item don't bid and mess the auction up with a non paying bidder.

Maybe I've been out of the tech news loop for too long, but did Ebay get bought out by AOL or something?? My ebay main page look like something out of an AOHell users nightmare
