Just like calling an ad in a newspaper, or replying to any "for sale" notice 
- even here on S3D, the risk is not with the messenger (service) but with the 
dishonest/misleading party.  No, I'm not a stockholder - but i wish i was!

I, too, have been disappointed with some ebay transactions - and even had 
$150 stolen on one occasion, but these problems have been very few compared 
to the number of times i have been greatly satisfied.  The pleasure of 
finding rare items (and occasionally a good deal) has far outweighed the 
risks for me personally.  I will say that i have had mostly good transactions 
with parties selling items here on the list, but i must also add that i've 
had problems with some sellers here (S3D), as well.

As far as S3D posts about current ebay auctions, i think it should simply be 
left up to those posting, whether they want to offend those on the list who 
take offense, and whether they want to notify those who like being notified - 
 there will always be subscribers on both sides of this debate.  Perhaps ebay 
sellers could simply include the words "EBAY NOTICE" as the Subject of the 
message.  And remember, the delete key is never too far from one's fingertips 
!
