1. How do Real Life auction houses handle this situation? Do they have sellers agree that they cannot contact potential buyers that were met at an auction?
2. How does eBay expect to enforce this policy? Sellers could simply contact losing bidders using different e-mail addresses and/or business names.
3. The potential for fraud that eBay chooses to point out is nullified by the Caveat Emptor that is at the bottom of each auction page. Going through eBay is no guarantee to either buyers or sellers.
Thanks for the link!

Remember, eBay is only a "venue".....
However, it is becoming more apparent that if you sign up with eBay, they are to be your ONLY venue...
Unless, of course, you are a huge conglomerate who can afford pricey lawyers who will sue eBay into the stone age if they interfere with their offline business, like Disney.

Just another tool for the Net-Narcs, Stool Pidgeons, Web-Rats, Cyber rent-a-cops, and your competitors to use to get you NARU'd.
