Petition to Create an Ebay Forum

Title says it all. On any given day in the U.S. Coin Forum there is at least 1 (currently 3... bumped them all for your pleasure) thread related to ebay nonsense on the first page. Nonsense being defined as not directly related to U.S. Coins like the forum rules specifies, i.e., Rule 6) This forum is about US Coins. If your post is not directly related to US Coins then this is the wrong forum. Do not post it or your posting privileges may be removed.
It's apparent that there's lack of enforcement in this area. A majority of the time those threads are beneficial, but do fall outside of the stated purpose of this forum. So, can an ebay forum be added as a happy compromise? Those from other forums would benefit as well...

Problem solved.

X2 not only is there a dedicated forum already for that it feels like this is already a ebay forum sometimes.

That way all user can share information on deadbeats and other problem people!

They do. I'm not sure how they feel about members putting down other members though.
My Ebay Store

Check out my current listings: https://ebay.com/sch/khunt/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1
I don't see it happening.
and ebay/paypal thread complaints haven't gone anywhere either.
why?
this place is more tolerant lately.
why not send mr wills a e-mail about this and see what happens

I don't even open the ebay posts so I don't know, but could the say "well, I am asking a question about buying or selling a US Coin on ebay. That's directly releated." I guess I should go back and read some ebay post.
I am tired of scrolling through the BST just to see non stop links of "Check out my ebay store" though
I don't think that that is Buying, Selling, or trading on the forum... Thats just promoting your ebay items. IMO of course
If PCGS would do like a "Collectors Corner" thing instead of the BST ..... I think that would be kinda of neat...
But.... all said and done... I would support a online auction/paypal thread.

I would not care to see an ebay forum here, but perhaps Cointalk or another major forum would be suitable. The Ebay forums are useless, as trying to point out crooked deals will only get YOU banned.

No separate forum needed.

Agreed. eBay is like a 24/7/365 coin show. Anytime you want you can go shopping for coins. If you want to get rid of the eBay posts, then get rid of all auction posts and all coin show posts too.

Just a couple of weeks ago, someone said posting Trade dollar topics was getting out of hand. Over on BST some create threads about those who bump their post too often, even bumping the same post with a reprimand.
Some even create a topic complaining about eBay, while in fact making another eBay topic, more useless than the ones they are complaining about. Wait.......
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Good Luck in your quest.
If folks had to post to an eBay Forum, us US coiners would not get the latest and greatest on who published a bad or blurry photo. on who was offering a suspected counterfeit coin, on who was suspected of offering a counterfeit slab, on who was suspected of shill bidding, of who had a suspiscious listing with 0 feedback of new eBay policies and of who no longer sells on ebay cause its just too expensive!
I think we'd be lost...................

Haven't even gotten around to see what's available for domain names. counterfeitauctions.com? fakeslistings.com? bsauctions.com?
<< <i>I've considered creating a site with images of fakes and the sellers that sold them. Is this grounds for legal action against me?

Anyone can file a law suite against you for any reason they want, winning it is the tricky part.
edited to add: I don't think creating a new section for online auctions would solve the problem, it would just create more work for the Moderators, moving the threads and policing the new online auction threads.

Probably wouldn't get any help checking ebay for forum members' stolen coins as well. I like to believe that this forum is one big thorn in the butt for ebay coin scammers.

<< <i>Threads that are not interesting to the forum die quickly due to lack of interest. I generally don't have much trouble deciding which threads are worth a read after looking at the thread title and OP. >>
Agree. I don't care about most eBay topics but I don't consider this to be a problem. I look at the thread title before I open the thread or skip over the thread.

Problem isn't solved. The OFF TOPIC threads still exist in the forum.
<< <i>The idea is intriguing...but I think participation in the U.S. coin forum would drop off quite a bit >>
Probably. But participation would be about....... US Coins, not ebay...
<< <i>From Posting Rules:
Rule 1: ..."this is not a democracy" >>
Right. And by PCGS's forum guidelines... there's no place for ebay threads in this forum. They defined the rules, not me.
<< <i>I've floated a broader "business forum" that'd encompass: ebay, heritage, paypal, dealers b&m plus online, bst how-to/quesions, etc. to leave the rest of the forums more to the individual items collected.
I don't see it happening.
and ebay/paypal thread complaints haven't gone anywhere either.
why?

That'd be great. Not sure why anyone opposes it. A business forum would encompass problems/issues, not just with US coins, but world coins, sports cards, stamps, etc...

So is economics and politics...
