Since I am not an EBAY shopper, does one have the ability to ask a seller about the status of the title? If the questions a buyer has can not be adequately answered to his/her satisfaction then perhaps they should NOT be bidding on said item. A bit of Caveat Emptor imho.

I would never buy a car from a guys ad in the local paper, or craigslist, if an appropriate title could not be reviewed first. I see ebay as no different. I do see ebay as not wanting the LEGAL responsibility about selling items (it would extend to cars, motorcycles, boats.. almost ANYTHING that a state (or all states) requires to be registered, no?
