It is spam becuase you posted it in places like alt.marketing.online.ebay and
alt.radio.scanner


I NEVER posted it on alt.marketing.online.ebay

I did on the latter, and yes it is considered SPAM there, just like 99%
of the daily postings are....

I've advertised FAs here just recently, my auctions weren't cancelled. I'm
wondering if somehow, "maybe" someone sent E-Bay - the non tech wizards they
are, a notice that perhaps your scanner was modified or whatever, to make
them think it was illegal????? Just a thought. I've seen other FAs in here
as well, none of them complained of having their auctions cut short.

Good thought. I was thinking the same thing. We all know it is
impossible for the 796D to be continuous coverage or modded, but eBay
will go by whatever someone tells them.

This is why I can't wait to see their response.

The ONLY auction "I" had cut short, was a "linear" I was auctioning off -
listed as NOT working, the finals pulled, for parts. I listed it I believe
for 10 meters, yet they pulled it. No big deal... But they've never pulled
my auctions for posting FA.

If NO NE dropped a dime to them about you posting FA, they will never
bother you. DO you really think eBay scours the newsgroups for
violations? They turn a blind eye until someone makes a complaint, then
they have to act.


IF you have suspects in mind, I suggest you take it up with them. Why turn
vigilante against the whole group?

I have A suspect in mind, but can never prove it. eBay will not turn
over the info on the complainant.

No vigilante, just making sure that what was good for Goose Dan, is good
for the gander.

You can thank the no-life asshole among you for it...

I think lots of people are sick of sicko Dan's Spams.

Interesting comment from someone hidden in anonymity.

I NEVER post anything to these groups except for an occasional FS or FA
posting, YES, just like EVERYONE ELSE peeing in this cesspool, yet I am
a sicko, and a spammer.

You're just an asshole.

Dan - real name

Just because you assume that somebody was an asshole to you, you
yourself will be an asshole to everybody else and SNITCH?

Nope.

Since the consensus seems to be that everyone wants all this SPAM stuff
removed, especially the eBay related FA stuff, I will do my part to help.

It's NOT snithcing because I am being up front, telling you I'm gonna do it.

It's my civic newsgroup duty.

And I don't hide behind anonymity either.

If YOUR private business was damaged like mine was in this case, you'd
be on the same torrent as I am now, or worse.

Dan

I'd be interested in seeing that particular rule.... if you would please
provide a link. It doesn't seem logical to me that EBay would prohibit the
advertising of their own auction on other sites, when such advertising can
only further EBay's chance of increased profits through the EBay sale going
as high as possible.


Ed,

I am sure eBay will answer my inquiry in due time.

I am confident the remoavl was as a result of what I've stated.

I will post their response here, and hopefully the rules as well.

Once I do that, there will be NO MORE FA psoting anywhere on the radio
newsgroups.

I looked in Google and can find no record of him cross-posting to
alt.marketing.online.ebay. The first posting about this was someone
else who followed up his message with:

SPAM SPAM SPAM

And thought his/her/it's wonderous message deserved to be crossposted
to AMOE. I can't figure how Kris Baker's name got brought into this mess
since Kris has said nothing about it as far as I can tell.

In any case, please argue elsewhere.

I understand your being mad, as I would be also.

This I don't understand, It's NOT snitching because you are being up
front, telling people you're gonna do it?
That would be like me saying "It's not theft if I tell you that I'm
going to steal it!"

A rats a rat and a thief is a thief!

Do like most and post anonymously and say " Hey look what I just found
on EBAY, what a great deal"
