Google declared 99 cents GMail invitations illegal

Google has updated Gmail's Terms of Service prohibiting users from engaging in commercial activities with their Gmail invitations.
The new policy reads "Sell, trade, resell or otherwise exploit for any unauthorized commercial purpose or transfer any Gmail account", will likely spelled the end for biddings of Gmail invitations on eBay and Internet forums. Although users can now no longer sell these invitations, I believe that the endless the "Gmail queue" requests will continue until either everybody has got an account, or they eventually lose interests, or Gmail becomes publically opened. Until which ever one of those happened, expect more "GIVE ME GMAIL!" to come.

    Slightly off-topic, but how does one get the invites to (not) sell? I've been using gmail for a week or two (thanks again, prime!) and was hoping to "pay it forward". :)

    I don't know - I haven't received the ability to invite folks yet either. :(

    I've had the account for about 2 weeks now and I just received one invite yesterday.
