eBay , by Ottomatik on Mar 22, 2011 18:21:07 GMT 1, From the forum rules created by Daniel Silk.
1. If your selling your item on ebay, then sell it on ebay, please don't post and start threads just to tell people about it.
I've noticed alot of these on the for sale threads lately.

eBay , by Goooogle Male on Mar 22, 2011 18:43:12 GMT 1, do you think there is room (and silky is willing to entertain) a debate about this rule? For some it is annoyance, and some is a bonus...Could there maybe be a new subforum of Art for Sale/Swap which is 'currently on ebay'?
I have no agenda particularly either way, just might be a good opportunity to discuss or vote on a poll?

eBay , by stenev on Mar 22, 2011 18:49:12 GMT 1, I don't mind it at all. If someone wants to use eBay rather than having to field offers via PM then why not. I've watched/bid on several items that were brought to my attention via this forum and Silky obviously doesn't have anything against eBay in general as shown by the links on every page.
Does it annoy you that much or are you just helpfully pointing out a rule that Silky doesn't seem to police?

eBay , by Warm Gun on Mar 22, 2011 18:49:16 GMT 1, You're right. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass when people keep on banging on about their ebay listing. Other times is a great heads up for something you could have wanted and missed out on. A mod posted an ebay thread a few days ago so I wonder if there is more play in this rule than any of the others.
Silky earns money from the little ebay adverts above so it's all swings and roundabouts in my opinion.

If Silky asks I'll delete my thread and / or the link. Just felt like it was easier to stick a few bits up at 99p without reserve and see what happens.

And hats off to you for doing so, I much prefer something to go on eBay than using my limited knowledge to make an offer by PM and finding I missed out because a higher offer was accepted.

While we are at it... what about the 'DON'T ask for a price'/'offers only by PM' thing?
Am I the only one that finds this annoying?
I think setting a price (a guide/start price would suffice) is what separates forum sales from an auction... I'm a member of other, non-art related forums that will bin threads if a price isn't suggested in a sales post
Thoughts?

but IMO not as irritating as the seller being able to bluff high offers when nobody is any the wiser... or as stenev above says, missing out on something because they don't have a ballpark value

I agree 100%. I may be newer to this forum, but in EVERY other forum Im a part of, a seller MUST post AT LEAST a ballpark. None of this "Pm offers", highest bid wins would fly. Thats what Ebay is for. I tend to avoid those sales even if its something Ive been after. It just seems like shady business to me. This is just my opinion. Take that for what its worth.

We also would miss out on some of the more bizzare and funny things that people find and post up for our amusement/condemnation.
