To my surprise I read an article on a woman named Maria Duran who was suing Ebay for not letting her sell plots on “SUN”, that she has registered on her name. Ms Duran who is 54-yrs old, registered sun in her name at a notary office in Spain in 2010. Then she started to sell square-meter plots on the sun for 1 Euro ($1.12) each. She sold almost 600 such units before Ebay cancelled her sale , saying she violated the sites intangible goods policy.
Ms Duran has taken the case to court and she is suing Ebay for not letting her sell the pieces of sun which helps sustain life on earth. Ebay has tried to settle the matter out of court but Ms Duran doesn’t want to take the deal and leave. Ms Duran is expecting around 7500 Euro which is approximately $11,641 for the payment that she has not received.
Ms Duran strongly believes that she has not breached Ebay’s seller agreement policy and says that she is not stupid and she knows the law.UN’s outer space treaty, prevents a nation from not owning a celestial body, but any individual can own them.

| My son’s puzzle |
Apparently Ms Duran received inspiration to sell plots on Sun from a US entrepreneur who registered planets and moon under his name in 2010 and 2011 and made more than $10 million by selling plots on moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars.
I am very confused as to what I should tell my son now. May be it is possible to buy plots and build houses in the planets, sun and moon??
