Hi Dan,

I am sorry to hear about your mishap with Ebay. What is Ebays reasoning
for not allowing FA's to be posted in newsgroups?

They don't give reasons for the "reasoning" , they don't have to. They
are GOD,
Is it because its considered spam? This is the first I have heard of
it.

It's the first you've heard of it beacuse it's been going on since eBay
was formed here on the newsgroups and no one cared or made a stink about
it. Go to rec.radio.swap right now and you will see at least 6 FA
postings. Are those auctions being yanked? Are they being reported to
eBay? DO you really thinks eBay gives a Rat's Ass about it until someone
reports it?

Someone dimed me out, plain and simple, and where I'm from, that's a RAT.
Not at al something to be proud of.
So WTB and FS
are ok? But not FA? Am I copying that right?

I honestly don't know. This has been going around and around on the
newsgroups for years. Are Viagra ads OK? Are off topic political posts
in a shortwave group OK? and on and on?

I guess they are until Dan Conti posts a few FA posts during the year and
I am being reported to eBay, and now threatened to be reported to my ISP.

Amazing.


Thanks
