I like this idea. Most regular ebay sellers already do this. It shouldn't • be

I do believe that this may be a hassle to enforce.

If we have a separate Ebay listing a "normal" person should be able to
reason that Ebay announcements belong in this group. Requiring that they put
Ebay in the heading would be harder to enforce, IMO.
