Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 21 Member Share Posted June 21 Etiquette of auction listings in "For Sale" This has come up in a specific sale, eBay in this instance. 1 AFAIK there isn't relevant guidance. 2 It doesn't bother me. 3 What are others' concerns? Thanks Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Rather parochial but to me, if an item is being put for sale on BlatChat, it’s being sold to members, not to everyone. That said, if something is being sold on eBay, it’d be nice to know… Yes, I know that’s contradictory! 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 The post in question was just using BlatChat to advertise/promote the members eBay listings, he did not state a price and did not respond to members questions. Therefore to purchase the items you had to use eBay, so in my opinion not a genuine “For Sale” and the links should not be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted June 26 Area Representative Share Posted June 26 Quote That said, if something is being sold on eBay, it’d be nice to know… Maybe we need an area or section for sharing external links such as ebay so these are not included within the for sale section.

"For sale elsewhere" - would also mean if someone found something interesting they could link to it ...... although I'd normally expect to see that in chitchat (but i'm a relatively new member). Perhaps that's the compromise, if you want to sell it to members it goes in "for sale", if you want to advertise or mention a sale elsewhere it goes in chitchat and risks being missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Personally, I’d give the Caterham community on here first chance at buying Caterham specific items. If they dont sell then I’d stick them on ebay. I’ve also posted links to rare Caterham items on ebay which haven’t appeared in the For Sale section. Or where I spot an ebay advert which matches an unanswered wanted post.
