S3D ebay & sell3d

[Peter Abrahams <telscope@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree it is impolite to post ebay auctions to sell3d; ebay listings are
easily available to all who want them.  I think we'd all agree that
multiple posts on an ebay auction, 'this item selling in 1 hour', would be
rude.  Where to draw the line? This list is for selling items to
subscribers, not for luring them to the possibility of buying something;
however it is ultimately the moderator's call.
Dan notes:
"The dishonest people get one warning and then are removed by the powers
that be. I have seen it happen several times. "
I have not seen this, though I believe it. But I have seen (several times)
dealers with multiple complaints, for serious dishonesty, who are not
removed from ebay.  Ebay has not been consistently enforcing (if at all, in
recent times) their ethics code.  You have to be willing to accept some
losses without getting an ulcer.  I am certain that there will be many fast
buck artists attracted to this venue as time passes, -- and so I only check
my bids once a day.
