I started a thread a few weeks ago asking for a separate group for Ebay
auction announcements. What was the outcome? I thought that there were • some
good suggestions.

Eric and I did put a filter for Ebay auctions (in the title) and for our
favorite auction poster (that usually omits Ebay in their subject • headers).
This does filter out many (?) announcements, however, since this subject
came up it appears that more people are omitting Ebay from their subject
header.

I did not see your post. I do ebay auctions. Is this now the "done thing"?

We seem to be getting more Ebay announcements that slip through the
filter.

Mine may be a problem. As I usually link my auctions to a none ebay page
where all my auctions are listed.



If we aren't going to start a separate Ebay auction group can we at least
get people to put Ebay in their subject header?

An ebay only group may not be a good idea. But I think there _is_ a clear
split between ebay *type* auctions (ebay, yahoo etc) and private auctions.
This would also help those who do private auctions - as these can be a lot
of work?

Can we then have permission
to "spam" them with their own message if they continually "forget" to do
this? (smile)

What about: lugnet.market.auction - for *everything and everyone* - as it is now lugnet.market.auction.private - for those running, or wishing to support private auctions exclusively It's a lot easier to move private auctions than it is move (...)
