I think I'd call anything sold on eBay (or otherwise to try to get more
than just a 'token' amount... like $5-$10) to be a commercial venture.
Hell, I'm a hobbyist but I'd be lying to your face if I tried to tell you
that anything I put on ebay wasn't 'for profit' or any type of 'commercial
venture'.
And no, I don't have a problem with the ad's on here. I don't advertise
auctions of mine on here; however, I don't usually auction things that
are 'on-topic' for this list, either.
Ok, time for me to get off of my soapbox.
