I went on to Bidder's Edge AND Auction Watch, putting in "Planet Plush" (yes, I buy little beanie thingies on eBay), and the difference in listings between one who caved in to eBay vs. one who refused to do so is better than double. Bidder's Edge was at 144, Auction Watch was at 344. Interesting... Yep, online auctions (300 sites?!?) are big!
