That sounds good, but it seems like there would be a wide gray line between
"commercial" and "private". When does someone stop being private, and
start being commercial? Is AucZILLA commercial? What about JABA?

I can understand why people would boycott eBay, but I think most Lugnet
readers decide on what auctions they are interested in more by what's being
sold, not where it's being sold.

I'd disagree with you about the nature of eBay sellers posting to Lugnet.
I don't read every announcement closely, but it seems like most of the eBay
posts come from small sellers.
