Violates eBay rules Message #3 Posted by Mike on 14 Apr 2003, 3:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Howard I suspect. I'd suggest that everyone send complaints to eBay and I bet he's gone within days. eBay specifically states you cannot use ebay auctions to steer people to items outside ebay. Also, if he posts more than 10 identical auctions, he is in violation of eBay rules. Simply doctoring the title to sell the same thing does not get around that. Finally, if he lists items in the subject, "that he is not selling in the actual auction" that is KEYWORD SPAMMING. So he can be bounced for that. I suggest people complain and he will be removed.

Why violation ????? Message #4 Posted by Norm on 15 Apr 2003, 12:49 a.m., in response to message #3 by Mike Why is it a violation of eBay rules to post more than 10 identical auctions. Is that all at the same time (parallel) or one after another (serial). I mean,what if I had a whole palletload of HP-41C's new-in-box and it had sat in a warehouse 20 years. Maybe theres 50 calculators. If I sold them one at a time over 2 years did I violate eBay rules ??? Just trying to broaden my knowledge appreciate any reply.
