You know, the people that put eBay in there title are doing it as a courtesy.
It's certainly not required (and shouldn't be in my opinion). Now you want
to turn around and harass the people that don't? And please don't reply to
this saying they're harassing you. If an eBay auction announcement is placed
in market.auction it's not harassing, whether it has eBay in it's title or not.
I'm tired of seeing all this animosity towards eBay auctions. eBay auctions
are a WHOLE lot easier to run than "hand run" auctions, and reach a WHOLE lot
more people. I used to have time to run auctions by hand but with two kids,
a new house and my wife and I both working it's just not possible anymore.
