I like but it is not worth $100 dollars. Further, the ability to
invites is extremely limited. Note the following help on inviting and
the date:

Because we're currently only offering Gmail as part of a preview
release and limited test, we don't have details on when Gmail will be
made more widely available.
As we make way for more accounts, we **may** periodically allow you to
invite others to join Gmail. [emphasis mine]

To invite someone, click on 'Invite friend' in your inbox. You will
then be asked to provide an email address and a personalized message
to your invitee.

The person you invite will be sent a message that includes a link to
join Gmail. That registration link will be valid for three weeks and
can be used to create only one account.

Should your invitee have problems creating a Gmail account, please let
us know by clicking on the 'contact us' link below.

We have also created a sign up list for those who are interested in
receiving updates on Gmail, but have not been invited.

I cannot invite you with my account. The EBay accounts may be worthless.
