We have a winner!  If pointed out to Ebay, an auction with comments like
this in it will always be canceled.  They also run text searches looking
for stuff like this - usually catching an auction within a few minutes
of start.

In the past year and a half Ebay has gotten real serious about tracking
down anyone trying to business using their site but dodging final-value
fees.  My E-bay username used to just be my E-mail address - but they
cracked down on me and made me change it, because they were convinced
that it was an attempt at defrauding them their $.
