Question regarding eBay items on the forum !!!

Timbuk3Timbuk3 Posts: 11,658 ✭✭✭✭✭

Is there a policy that eBay items should be listed in the title. I click on the item post and find that the item is for sale on eBay. Sorry, just asking !!!

Thanks !!! :)

    Nope. No policy.
    Nice to have, but no policy.

    For me, I am ok with it, but when they put a link to ebay and don't bother listing/showing photos here, I move on without any further clicking. If someone can bother putting pics on ebay, but can't bother linking/showing those photos here, then I just move on along.

    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

    I don't think so @Timbuk3 I've seen many members operating eBay stores as well.

    Normally if you list on the BST and Ebay it is common courtesy to put ebay in your title..

    @PerryHall said:
    I'm okay with this as long as they are willing to take it off eBay and sell it to a forum member directly at a discount from their eBay price. Otherwise they are just using the BST for advertising purposes.

    What is wrong with using BST for advertising purposes? Why is it more pure to use BST as a free commerce site?

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.

    I like the BST because it is fee free....benefits both buyer and seller. Cheers, RickO

    Used to be, if you didn't put eBay in your BST title you'd know about it pretty quick from members or SportsModerator1.
