I've sold a fair amount as of late there.

Ditto.

True.

Hrmmmm.... I'm not so sure.
I waiver between despising eBay and refusing to look at it and using
it when I just plain want a) quick and easy and b) the chance to make
the most money from an item. I still despise the place while I'm
using it, though. But this isn't a bash eBay thread.
I would _much_ rather see all eBay auctions go into a separate group
and see private auctions of some sort move into their own group,
leaving eBay in the original group. And not just eBay stuff - I think
third party sites in general would be better suited to another group.
There have been AFOL's doing e-mail based auctions a lot longer than
there have been AFOL's doing eBay auctions. eBay postings, especially
some of them, sometimes annoy people because they have a great deal of
aversion for the place. Private auction posts rarely do annoy people,
in my experience.
People who are interested in monitoring a subset of eBay Lego auctions
will find them just as easily in lugnet.market.auction.ebay as in
lugnet.market.auction. Maybe more easily.

I'd expect that people who were concerned with the structure of LUGNET
as _would_ read .admin.general, but I don't see anything wrong with
posting mention of this discussion there.
