DaktariT Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Would it be possible for a section of the forum for links to eBay listings for Airsoft themed items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamal Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Isn't it just as easy to look on Ebay directly? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaktariT Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 More thinking of forum members to be able to show their listings as not everyone uses the forum classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommikka Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 With eBay auctions it would mean copying every listing whenever you want to sell something, only ‘buy nows’ would last any time as a valid link whilst unsold As a matter of a seller opting to list on eBay and refer to it on here rather than classifieds the seller would be losing 10% in fess on an eBay sale rather than a fee-less classifieds sale (There are occasionaly fee-less direct links that eBay gives for people to share links) If you highlighted your eBay sale then generated a forum sale you could avoid fees by canceling on eBay, but then you attract attention getting potential strikes against your eBay account Members could post up their seller IDs and then people could look at what they are currently listing - I buy & sell random things, but as I’m not going to auctions at the moment I don’t think too many members would be interested in my suit and corset If there’s a majorly exciting find that someone spots (but don’t fancy for themselves) they can post about it somewhere appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted January 10, 2021 Head Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2021 I would not support having eBay listings here. This forum is free to use. There are no fees paid by the members for posting their Classified adverts. However, forum members must follow our forum and Classifieds rules.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted January 10, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'm not sure i'm down for mixing ebay and the classifieds. If i want to use ebay then i'll just go look there. But i preferr the forum environment as the community side of things generally yeilds much better security for both buying and selling.
