Hi Paul - Maybe the credit-tracking agency Equifax Inc. should hold the keys to the "digital vault" ..... using Novell's Digital Me product. EBay CEO details steps to secure, improve auctions NEW YORK, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Internet auctioneer eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY - news) plans to get tough on deadbeat bidders with a new service to verify the financial status of buyers and sellers to eliminate possible fraud, CEO Meg Whitman said on Wednesday. Speaking to the annual Goldman Sachs Technology Symposium, an investment conference here this week, Whitman said eBay was working with credit-tracking agency Equifax Inc. (NYSE:EFX - news) on a such a verification program to be introduced in March. The system would allow individual eBay users to submit confidential personal information to Equifax, which would work as an independent authority to verify the financial track record of buyers and sellers.

If I were CEO Schmidt, I would pay a visit to CEO Meg Whitman of E-Bay and set up the Novell Digital Me program. Ms Meg Whitman has a problem which I believe Novell can solve. EKS
