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? Is it because its
considered spam? This is the first I have heard of it. So WTB and FS
are ok? But not FA? Am I copying that right?

Thanks

Hi Dan,

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
