I personally support the concept of requiring membership of all participants
in the automagic web-based auctions. But then, if I were _holding_ an
auction, I might feel differently....

Maybe, but the added peace of mind that would come with knowing
someone was committed enough to sign up and pay a small fee to be part
of this online community would be worth it for me, as an auctioneer,
although I admit it would tend to reduce the number of bidders.
