Speaking of fences...

I wonder if eBay has put any fences for stolen goods out of business... or has it enabled fences (obviously required for any successful robbery) to unload goods more easily?

I suspect the discount for stolen goods must give a smaller margin to the fence, now that goods can flow easily to buyers who are used to buying from individuals on eBay. Who needs a fence when you can sell the goods yourself just by getting an email account? Still, high end goods would require someone with talent to move them, as few would buy incredibly expensive items over the Internet.
