I like that idea. Yahoo auctions has something similar called Neighborhood
Watch
for each auction listing. Too bad this feature only allows for:
1. Adult item outside the Adult area
2. Think it belongs in a different category
3. Possible Terms of Service violation
Of course, even adding this to eBay would help. With the addition of:
4. Just a comment
and having the comments viewable by anyone accessing the auction listing
a link could be placed to a discussion thread.
