Hey internet police...does it really matter whether a person uses FS or
FA?
I mean, on auction sites, people are either BUYING or SELLING stuff. It
appears to me that this guy is SELLING a scanner, so FS is just fine.

No, at this point he can't sell the scanner, even if I offered him the
money right now. Because it is listed with Ebay, he has to sell it through
their system. It is a part of the deal of listing it with Ebay.
Some of us are not interested in doing the auction thing and would
rather just buy something outright, rather than wait a week trying to see if
we can have the best bid. On the flip side, I am sure there are some people
that would rather go through Ebay, because of the security that Ebay offers
both parties on the transaction.
Of course, Hamguy, this will mean nothing to you, because you keep
posting your site on here and have yet to say in any of your postings, why
anyone would be interested in visiting it. To me, it appears that you site
is a redundancy of so many others, because you have the same things as the
others. (i.e. ARRL newsletter)

Had you looked at the auction when originally posted, it had a buy it now
price which would have ended the listing immediately..

My point is, that he can't take my money, it has to go through Ebay. It
is being sold through Ebay and with that, he entered an agreement to sell it
only through Ebay. Again, if I offered him the money right now, he would
still not be able to give it to me, because the transaction must go through
Ebay.
Not everyone likes dealing with Ebay, nor does everyone want to. The
point is, if you are going to post something, then be honest.

If you want to get technical, why are people SELLING or BUYING things here
anyway...they should be SWAPPING/TRADING only, hence the Newsgroup name
rec.radio.SWAP. There should be no monetary transactions at all!
