Good questions. Bidders who don't look at all postings would be the
biggest problem. eBay won't do a darn thing--we'd be working entirely
within the rules. We *would* be risking getting negative feedback.

Which points out another problem with eBay--why should sellers waste time
on a 7-day auction cycle, when the serious bidders don't even consider
items until they're ready to close?
