Auctions are much more complex and mission critical than a classified. Imagine the server or internet connection going down when a dozen auctions are ending. Havoc. I'm just guessing, but I don't think AA has even a hint of the necessary redundant systems necessary for even a half-way serious commercial web site.

I disagree, as well. Get it set up, get the kinks out, enhance it, then when it's gained some momentum, start charging. The implementation challenges of a payment system and the necessary bookkeeping for charging sellers could make the actual classified code look trivial.
