Re: [PLUG] OT: EBay Auction Etiquette?

I would personally say not to do it. I don't think there are any 'rules'
per-se, just the way something feels socially.  The reason I don't like
posting of ebay auctions to communities, no matter what community I'm in
-- is that if someone wanted to sell/offer something to us, they could
simply just post the item to us, with the price they are looking to get
for it, or with a 'make an offer' approach.  Posting of ebay auctions just
feel like spam.
