Speaking as someone who has sold stuff in many places (RTL, Lugnet,
Yahoo!, eBay, my own websites, etc) it wouldn't frustrate the hell out

Don't make the assumption that the only people selling on eBay are
outsiders that the rest of our elite little group doesn't want to deal

Nobody forces anyone to compete in eBay auctions, but as many people

compete in them is really only hurting one person - you.
