"If you are selling your item via eBay or another site, and the audience is not restricted to the forum membership, then you should NOT post it on here as it will be deleted (read the first paragraph of this post again). Exception: Other people are allowed to discover your eBay advert and post it in the eBay/Craigslist finds thread, but YOU should NOT do this."
Fine, if someone is selling on ebay then yes, it's naughty because you have a certain commitment to ebay once you place your auction and it's unfair to play people off on this forum like that.
But for classified ads on other bike forums, what's wrong with that?? not everything gets snapped up here and people might just want to widen their chances a bit. To stop a genuine seller just trying to shift their stuff is a bit dumb IMO, especially when we let trade sellers dominate the classifieds on here without a word...
I disagree with this.
