Not really. Seller run auctions create more traffic because of the constant
updates, but ebay auction announcements are usually a single or 2 shot deal.
Many B-S-T posts fall in that level of traffic. Yet, many people seem to
dislike ebay auction announcements more than private auction announcements, so
again, it looks like a prejudice. B-S-T is good, auction is bad. Seller run
auction is good auction, ebay auction is bad auction. Definite double
standard.
