What the hell is the deal with this PWCC auction

Ebay seems to care far far more about whether you try to sneak an email or phone number into a message. After so many years it seems unlikely to me ebay is going to take a serious stand on retractions. But IMO, sellers have an independent obligation to ensure the integrity of their auctions/business.

How true is that! Even if you try and space it, or code it, they seem to be on top of it.

I know of a CDN seller, even if his cards don't sell, will not sell private after his auctions end as he is under the impression, if he has listed them on E-Bay then that is his only avenue to sell his cards.

TOO TRUE! I had a NET54 member decline to end an eBay listing and sell the card to me via PM as he was concerned that the eBay Police would find out and suspend his account - REALLY!

Ebay wanted a cut of the cards that I consigned with Robert Edwards auctions last year. True story

That's some Orwellian $h-- right there. I'm sure we'd love to hear the story if you feel safe to share it.
