Right. Because eBay and Paypal have completely eradicated fraud and the gaming of the system. In addition, there are no false-positives in this scheme and people are not thrown under the bus just because they aren't 'internet famous' enough to get their situation resolved...

I'm not agreeing that we need a government system, but don't point to eBay as the solution to fraud.

It isn't sensible to think that any system can eliminate fraud entirely. If you want a system that gets it right most of the time then you can look to ebay.
