Good news, IMHO

I hope you are correct that SWA is shutting down the ebay RR market. I wouldn't be surprised if the beancounters told RR to shut down ebay sales or else prepare for capacity controls in 2006. RR tickets bought on ebay cost SWA significantly more revenue on average than tickets used by family and friends. The latter are more likely to replace leisure fares.

P.S. If ebay is really closing auctions, they are doing a sloppy job of it. I did two quick searches and found quite a few still active.
