Sorry, I thought this was a forum for selling parts, not a place to advertise auction sites.

Just putting it up for enthusiasts.
Not aware that linking to an auction site is not within the rules, but correct me if I am wrong! |

Fancy putting up a link to some Volvo parts that someone might actually be interested in....
For God's sake John, don't do it again, you wouldn't want to get people round here all excited now! |

My search on eBay for 200 series parts currently returns 1,614 items. Should I repost all of them here? If everyone cross posts stuff from other sites then everyone loses out, you can't sort out what is different and what's a duplicate. This is not an auction site, it works on a different basis, it is in effect a competitor to eBay. Would you post a link to an offer at Sainsburys on Tesco's site? If people want to buy stuff on eBay, they can visit eBay themselves. If that's too much trouble just set up a saved search to email them with new items. There are people who won't buy or sell on eBay, this site gives them the ability to make contact and negotiate an agreeable deal. Lets not drown out such posts with duplicates of information that is easily available elsewhere. You may say that one post is not going to drown anything out, which is true. But where then do you draw the line? eBay is growing and there will only be more such posts over time. It's a lot easier to nip it in the bud than it is to chop down a sprawling forest.
All I want is to keep focussed. Post stuff that you personally have for sale and let other sites get on with what they do on their own. |

Sorry, but if the 200 series section on here was busy you might have a point, but it isn't, so you're just being awkward for the sake of it.
John didn't post up a link to a 240 ball joint, or an oil filter, neither was he trying to stir up interest in something he was selling for financial gain, it was a genuinely rare part that a 240 enthusiast might be interested in. You know the Volvo 240? One of the reasons this site exists... |

I have more to do in life than just read the 200 series section and I don't often have enough time to do that. Cross posting is considered a breach of etiquette in many forums around the net. |

Instead of casting insults you might like to consider why it is thought a breach of etiquette? These ideas are not just formulated to spoil everyone's fun they have been put together over time to make it easier for everyone to get along. |

I would like to request that jonah and Andrew(UK) both cease from carrying this dispute any further as it starting to get out of hand. There is no rule about referencing another site to draw users attention to what may or may not be a rare item and whilst we can all search for things that are sought after it may be possible that some 'get away'. So lets leave it there please. Should cross referencing become an issue or a problem then it will be dealt with by the forum support team accordingly.
Thank you Roger |
