Thanks for the heads up.

The 2 references usually means any other auction houses with which you've registered and/or purchased. The idea is for the auctioneer to gain some assuredness that you are who you are and that you're going to be able to pay should you win. The problem I initially found was that if all the major auction houses require two references, then how do you get "in the door" in the first place -- but fortunately some only require one reference, or may accept one's EBay account.
