Title: Bitcointalk Ebay Policy...and other third party sites...
Post by: ducatitalia on February 03, 2014, 04:38:54 AM
Wanted to check in with message board brass on this before posting links.  I have several listings on Ebay that I would like to offer up to the BTC community, but not sure if posting Ebay links is frowned upon at Bitcointalk?  Or linking to other sites that have items listed for sale in general?  Would posting a link to my listings violate any policies, or are we good to post as needed?  I'll have several items of value and interest that I'd like to make available going forward as well. 

Reason for wanting to link rather than starting new sale listings in the marketplace goods section is that listings are already fully-baked and well presented elsewhere...better to link than attempt to duplicate.  Thank you for your assistance and guidance.

I suggest you to remove them and wait till 10th of Feb.

On 10th on Feb ebay.co.uk WILL ALLOW selling bitcoins and other virtual coins in their Classified Ad section.

At this point, due to their TOS, it's not allowed to sell bitcoins.
Yes, they close account and size fund only when somebody complain, but it's not forth before 10th.

P.S. Usually "complain" are from other sellers... Just to know.

Pretty sure you're ok to list or just link them on the marketplace. You could probably advertise them with a brief description there then link to the ebay listings for further details.

It's OK ... until they not close you your PayPal & eBay account.
Search a little and will find a lot of cases.

Also as a Seller at this point you have exactly ZERO 0% seller protection.
It's not rare to sell soem bitcoins/dogecoins/etc. and after few hour to have an open dispute for unauthorized transaction. Or even on the 45th day of the transaction.

I made some money selling mining service and coins. Mine accounts are still open but also have some open disputes.

I guess it is okay to do so.
Just don't spam your links by making dozen of posts every boards.
