DaveHeBay Links Poll
As far as I am concerned they should be allowed.
I would never point out one of my auctions, and I would expect any other member not to, but when someone points out a weired auction, or an auction when something looks wrong, I would like a link to the auction, rather than searching through eBay.
The last auction mentioned (Stargate Movie Redemption) I couldn't find, which was anoying as I was interested in bidding.

Perfect TommyIf you ban the links, does that mean that you also ban the use of key words in a post? Just now someone was having problems finding an auction, so I posted the key words in searching for it. Technically I used no link, and the key words could return a number of different auctions, but would that be considered against the rules? Where would it stop? Ebay is a great source for information. And I fear that because so many of us are using ebay for this hobby, it would seem bad to have them completly separated from this site. That's why I voted to keep the links.
BTW, this may be a given, but if it is decided that there should be a ban on ebay auctions, it should be universial for Yahoo auctions and any other auction sites in the future.

If??? This issue was decided by powers that be some time ago . . .
SEE HEREPerhaps this poll should be closed as "resolved"

Perfect TommyI wondered why I felt like I was only getting half the story. I guess that was one of those threads I let slip. I've got to start spending more time in here.
