i was wondering about an EBAY related conference, i know i and several 
others on here use ebay, it could be used for questions, notices, 
facts and more. i would love to finally run a conference here on grex. 
i would like to be the FW for it also.

Try it out first as an agora item to see if there is any interest.

We have a classified ads conference already.

I might use an eBay conference to pick up tips on how to use eBay, if
the conference were active enough.  I have a suggestion, though; why not
enter an item in agora to see how much activity it gets?  If it's
flooded with great discussion, then a conference might be warranted.  If
it gets a dozen responses in a month, then a conference probably
wouldn't be worth starting.

What types of items would you start?  How to package things, how to bid....?

Sounds about right.  After next week, I'll email cfadm about it, but I'm
absolutely swamped until then....

Are there any guides on how to be a good shill?  I've never been clear on
how to go about it properly.

re #33
Yea, there's actually a website with a fee that has it automated for you and
you just punch in the ending of the auction and the auction number.

Um, are you sure you know the difference between sniping and shilling?

i would create seperate 'threads' for:
bidding tips / buying tips
selling / mailing
questions and answers
general chat related to ebay
notices of items that are being sold / won
and whatever else it needed with time

You're talking about selling, right?

Thanks, I know what a shill is.  Its part of Yiddish 101.
I think you got lost with the fact that I pointed out there are services
offered via others who advertise on websites.

Um, OK, what exactly do these services do?

 If you still think it's a good idea, send a message to
 cfadm asking that it be created.
