I'm fairly active on meetup, and have started investigating setting up an eBay meetup. There are quite a few in the US, but only one small one in Aus (Melbourne).

I think it seems a fairly obvious thing to do, to start an eBay meetup here in Sydney, particularly with the Driving Business Online roadshow being run by PayPal.

I'm puzzled at the apparent lack of current activity. So my questions ...

* Any who knows of similar groups that started and closed, and their history.

* Anyone interested in starting such a group in your local area ? If so, let's network.

I've also contacted PayPal DMO and cheekily asked if they might set up some infrastructure and support to encourage the formation of such groups.
