DJBarry,
It's hit or miss. I have seen people get away with it and I have seen others get tagged with their entire current items removed from the auction site. But with so many sellers, I think a person has to contact eBay and then eBay looks into the matter.
Take for instance the case of Will's new eBay site here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1995-ENOR-OJ-SIMPSON-175-SIGNED-HOF-FOOTBALL-CARD-O-J_W0QQitemZ110290298460QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110 290298460&_trkparms=72%3A1418%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C 240%3A1318&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14
There is a link hidden in the templete to his web site and a link is mentioned in the "ME" portion. I have always done things in the "ME" portion (as far as links go and advertising self) in the past. You can perhaps go that route and maybe make a mention in the "ME" section as far as listing auction dates.
As far as getting e-mails about up coming auctions, I rather dislike it. I can understand it, but if I buy one item that has nothing to do with what I collect, I will then get further reminders...of more items that I won't collect. All the eBay sellers sit in my booklists and I usually check twice a week.
