[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1773643, member: 41863"]Come on now. Go look at some of those listings. There are plenty that say 'contact me here on CT for a reduced rate and only leave a link to their eBay store'. According to MedoraMan that should be illegal too, since the item is only found on eBay and you would have to go there to see the item in order to make the offer here. This wasn't directed at you, I think we got everything worked out. I was specifically asking this to MedoraMan since he has a problem with any dealings where the coin originates in eBay but the deal is done outside of Ebays platform. I think I understand the rules quite well at this point. I've read plenty that pertains to this situation and folks are stretching the goal posts REALLY far on both ends to make the story. I've been guilty of it too by suggesting these hypotheticals. However they are rooted in real concerns and I want to see folks work out all the angles since they get so worked up we can conduct business outside of eBay. So is it ethical for a person to list an item on eBay, promote it here on CT, solicit offers off of eBay even offering discounts, and sell the item outside of eBay. MedoraMan says that's illegal, I see no wrongdoing as I do not believe eBay has that authority to police the Internet to that extent. So where does that case stand?[/QUOTE]
