Why I don't like ebay links...or selling on multiple forums

[45nut]

First off,, if anyone on the web has no idea how to find ebay by now they need only to start typing it in the address bar of their browswer and it will pop up.
Second, Ebay doesn't spend any money advertising here, nor will they ever sponsor us because we are a gun forum. They spend millions on advertising and do not need help.
Third, their usual link is nearly a mile long and sufficient to induce a migraine trying to scroll back and forth.

Please do not post ebay links here folks.

Seems recently there have been lots of cross posted goods, same goods for sale here and on other forums.

We have a swapping and selling area here that gets lots and lots of traffic, certainly if something doesn't sell here you are welcome to post it elsewhere,, or if it doesn't sell elsewhere you are welcome to post it here,, all we ask is that is not for sale elsewhere at the same time it is listed here, or vice versa.

Having the exact same goods listed on one or more forums is disrespectful to the forums you are listing them at for both the ownership and your fellow members since more than one person may call for the items at the same time, certain to tick off someone eventually.

It is a simple rule, and we aren't trying to be harsh about it, but the rule was implemented for a reason and bandwidth is not free for forum owners and it is tacky to blow off the rules and waste bandwidth here when it may already be sold elsewhere or vice versa.

Simple right?
