That's a good question and my current solution is to refund the buyer once he found that the sale was a scam. It's not a perfect solution but I can't think of better ones at the moment.
I just did. Thanks for your response.

Ask HN: An idea to build a marketplace for game accounts, is it legal?

I just came up with an idea of game account marketplace website(e.g. WOW accounts) to build in my spare time.Idea: The sellers submit userid and password, plus a description/screenshot of the account(e.g. level,items in the account ) to the website and price it(e.g. $10). The buyers can browse through the site filtered by the descriptions (e.g. level >20) and buy it, then the userid and...

Yes I am caching the data starting from today :) Thanks for your comment. I will improve the interface and add more statistics about the sites later, possible the two sites you just mentioned.
This list won't show the big old sites because we know them all along. (Who doesn't know that pinterest is rising really fast?) Enjoy :)

It would be good if it doesn't require login.

Google Image search too :)

They would be useful when I further develop the site. Now I think I should just "comment" them away.

If a broken image is found, you can upload your own image to replace it :) http://jpg.to/upload.php
Re:Http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to/random on Tuesday February 21, 2012 @09:31AM (#3616538)
Because I am the creator. :p Thanks for reminding me, I am adding the list to the about page now.
Re:Http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to/random on Tuesday February 21, 2012 @09:20AM (#3616486)
You can join the options using a "+" character. e.g. http://cat.jpg.to/r+l+gif is a random large cat gif image. options available:

"jpg" "gif" "png"

"face" "photo" "clipart" "lineart"

"black" "blue" "brown" "gray" "green" "orange" "pink" "purple" "red" "teal" "white" "yellow"

"huge" "xxl" "xxlarge" "xl" "xlarge" "l" "large" "m" "medium" "s" "small" "xs" "i" "icon"

"r" "random"

I am also thinking about the possibilities of the service. Do you have any idea? :)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @01:07PM (#3258598)
I am trying to make the service more reliable. Thanks for your opinion :)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @01:04PM (#3258591)
Thanks for your opinion. It will be handled better in the next few updates :)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @01:02PM (#3258583)
Thanks for your advice. I will probably handle this issue in the next few updates.
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @08:31AM (#3258052)
Basically, the idea is to take the subdomain of the url as keyword and search it through Google's image search api and return the 1st result.
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @08:16AM (#3258028)
Thanks for reminding and I have corrected the tag immediately:)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @08:13AM (#3258025)
Very true. I planned to introduce a page for every image to attribute the source in the near future. And I would delete them upon the owner's request. (just like youtube video)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @08:08AM (#3258020)
Thanks so much for your work. Just added it to my browser :)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @05:03AM (#3257762)
It's from google's public image search api :)
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @05:01AM (#3257755)
Good suggestion! I think I would include the sources on voting page when it is made.
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @04:55AM (#3257748)
Thanks for your ideas. In fact it's using the image search api and I think I would have implemented social voting to replace search before the limit runs out (if any).
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Sunday November 20, 2011 @01:16AM (#3257446)
I will implement upload, voting and flagging features soon, thanks for your suggestion!
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Saturday November 19, 2011 @09:16PM (#3257013)
It seems whitespace is not allowed in subdomain. I need to research further to confirm it.
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Saturday November 19, 2011 @09:12PM (#3257004)
1. keyword.jpg.to is the most intuitive and easy to type domain I can think of at the moment. If you got a better idea please tell me :) 2. I planned to allow image upload and voting to select the best image that match the word. I believe this method can give better result in the long term.
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Saturday November 19, 2011 @08:44PM (#3256973)
Please try http://orange.jpg.to or other keywords to see if it works.
Re:http://(Type any keyword here).jpg.to on Saturday November 19, 2011 @07:38PM (#3256841)
Another good suggestion. I would definitely implement something exact or very similar to this if the api allows. Stay tuned :)
