This is my last post on this subject unless Chris responds to my email. Then I'll share with you what she says. But I imagine it will just be stating the rules like Becky pointed out.

I feel I have to say that asking someone a pertinant question is okay and not childish. I didn't hunt her down or stalk her to get her info. She has her info on her website for that purpose. I wasn't petty or pesty. I asked a simple question in order to gain some clarification.

I can only speak to my own actions. I am posting this in response to what someone said after my first tenative post on this subject.

This is a topic that obviously carries alot of emotion for some of us. I wish you luck in your businesses fellow PCs.

I'm confused. Did they delete someone's post off this thread? I was reading through the whole thread and couldn't figure out who some of the post's were talking too.

yes they did the gal that owns one of the ebay store came hear because she heard we had posted about her. So she posted here. I think to either justify herself or to further upset of some of us. My guess is they removed her posts since she isn't a PC consultant she just buys her stuff from a consultant. That and she came here to basically attack us. I have just sat back and read till now. I feel that no matter what we say or do some people are still going to sell the products that way. But I have to say I've used ebay for supplies before myself. Alot of us want to have bags, shirts, extra supplies, etc and it is cheaper to get them used on ebay.

I am just trying to hrlp clarify the rules for advertising to those that are confused but I agree it depends how you interpurt them.

I have been buying retired things from ebay such as clothing, pins,and cookie molds. I did buy a lot of PC utenciles that I didn't have to enhance my shows. I figure if you can get it cheaper somewhere elso....go for it. With being fresh to the biz I am able to get stuff I need at deep discounts. Who wants to dump alot of money into the biz from the start? not meeee.I am shopping ebay to help with my business.

I guess it all depends on your morals then.

If we're not supposed to be selling things online then certainly the people selling the PC stuff aren't either. I suppose if it's a one off type of thing (Like someone selling stuff so they can move, but aren't related to PC in anyway) then I would perhaps look at it, but it is worth checking out whether or not they are selling TONNES of PC stuff, because then I would think there was something fishy going on!

All of the people I am purchusing from are individuals that are out of the biz or people cleaning out their house. I would not buy stuff from a vendor when I can purchase it myself. Everything I buy is used. I am not doing anything unethical. It is like going to a yard sale and buying other peoples stuff.
