| Why don't you want eBay links posted in the forums? | |
We discourage the posting of eBay links for a simple reason:
Our forums exist for discussion, the exchange of ideas, and yes, the occasional exchange of goods. However,
they do not exist for the purpose of commercial profiting.
Selling something like music memorabilia for a set price means that you are deciding what you think it's worth,
and if someone (usually local so they can pick it up in person) agrees - they'll purchase it. Selling it on
eBay and posting links to forums here and elsewhere means that you're trying to get as much money as you possibly
can from what you're selling.
There's nothing wrong with selling things on eBay - but once you're doing it, you're basically establishing that
your purpose is to make a handsome profit. Handsome profit is good - we just don't feel it's fair to use the space
that we pay money for (and you pay us nothing for) in order to try and boost that profit.
We want those who are selling music gear and memorabilia to enjoy OpeningBands - this means we prefer that they
not have to sift through profit-based ads. We hope you understand, and thank you for your cooperation.
