FA, FS, does it really matter? Either way it's still FOR SALE!

Auction: eBay. For Sale: Private sale between two people. For one,
some people killfile posts with FA or For Auction if they don't want
to see eBay auctions posted.

I for one come here to see private party ads, not eBay advertisements.

Also a little thing called Common courtesy. And, aside from that, it's
in the FAQ:

It has become common practice to append "FS" ("For Sale"), "WTB"
("Want To
Buy"), or "WTT" ("Want To Trade") to the subject line of an ad. With
the new
online auction service, eBay, we ask that you include "FA" ("For
Auction")
and also "eBay" to your subject line if you choose to place an auction
notice. (Note that a recent straw poll revealed that many readers are
not
happy seeing auction notices on r.r.swap - post such notices at your
own
risk! If you fail to append "FA" and "eBay" in your subject line, you
will
surely be flamed.)
