I think most nationals are selling the same stuff on the net. They have no way of knowing who the buyers are.
They could go right to the XO website and say "this is amykat from USC, and here is my credit card # and I want to order an entire truck load of badges or pins".

I think most GLO's dont just give their badges to anyone who owns a credit card. I just lost my pin so I had to go through our member educaction officer to purchase a new one.
The whole ebay thing just gets me really worked up because one of my sisters had a nasty runin with this "skidmarks" guy who basically makes money off of what he called "stupid sorority girls who will do anything to keep their trash jewerly in their chapter." Personally i was deeply offended. I understand everyone collects something but there is a reason that we dont freely give our badges out to anyone and it should remain that way.
