Dear Marcin and List:

Thanks to you, Marcin, and Stan Turecki for trying to run these 
meteorite charity auctions on Ebay in conjunction with our raffle. Ebay 
closed down Stan's auction as well. I haven't seen so many petty 
regulations since I was at military school in England  : )

It is possible to set up charity auctions on Ebay, but you have to do 
it their way (surprise) which is through MissionFish. I agree with Stan 
that MissionFish appears to be a *for* profit entity, and that smells 
very MissionFishY to me.

I think we all know what Ebay's top priority is, and it ain't charity.

Thanks for trying.


Best,

Geoff N.
