As I mentioned in another thread elsewhere only moments ago...

Is there, or can there be a test area for us to trial new html, new templates, practice setting up an auction?

I would envisage a heading making it clear that the goods on offer are not for sale. Some form of announcement at the top of each page that this is a test auction (sitting above the actual page)

Recommendations that sellers only sell 'widgets' 'thingies' 'doo dahs' and other 'nonsensical' items. After all I only want to test some html or a selling method, the actual items are irrelevent.
