Woody, I couldn't of said it better myself. A lot of these guys are
dealers like Cooltube who lists thousands of items here a year.
These guys dont care what they are doing to the newsgroups. Its all
about money.

I have nothing against ebay, and I sell there often....

BUT,

What's the point? We know ebay is there and how to search it. You auctions
run 10 days, and jam up the archives for years.
You post "5 hours left!!!" and I don't see it until 14 hours after it
closes. I would've paid twice that too. Had you emailed me directly, I would
have known.
But wait, I've already got that too...
Here's a question... why is there no newsgroup for ebay posting postings?
The infinite chasm of pathetic redundancy, maybe?

OH....MY....GOD.... I just thought 'That puts a limit on stupidity; check it
before posting it' and behold.... alt.marketplace.online.ebay
a newsgroup that is nothing but links to ebay auctions!

Well, I stand dumbfounded and corrected.
So I'll rephrase.... if there is either need or purpose, why doesn't ebay
have another site for posting ebay links?

Now the big question is, who wants to start rec.radio.swap.ads ?
It would be for posting links to rec.radio.swap that link to
alt.marketplace.online.ebay that links to ebay auctions.
Oh, and it should be moderated....by some government agency employee.

So, I guess I'm gonna go post some links to rec.radio.swap in the ebay group
and see if I get banned.
