Define "and the like". Would that include SeriousCollector.com even
though it's run by a fellow AFOL? What about free auction sites like
Yahoo! that also happen to be owned by commercial entities? What
about free auction sites like my BRICKS site?
It's not like there are 200 posts to .auction every day. I think
creating a group just to segregate one type of auction listing from
another is a little silly. I find some of the 100+ line "personal"
listings that get posted 2-3 times a day much more annoying than an
every-other-day 10 line listing of eBay auctions.

Most regular eBay sellers put the word eBay in their subject. That's
not filter enough? Or should people be protected from even knowing
that there are messages with eBay auctions listed in them?

You are wrong. No need to get into the "mostly ignorant people have a
serious mad-on for eBay" argument here, though. Just take my word for
it - lots of very respectable AFOLs use eBay.
Now I personally hope they start using my BRICKS site, but that's just
because I'd rather them save their money.
