Question:
I think the consensus is that you can link to your about me page or a personal website, but keep it short. You might want to leave the sig line off if you start a thread so it’s not misconstrued as spam, at least until people get to know you a bit. Good luck with your online endeavors! bill – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Question: in most newgroups having a link to your business site in your signature is okay, as long as you’re actively participating in the newsgroup discussions, and not posting something like "Hey! Look at my signature!". Would the same sort of thing, having a link to your auction listings in your signature, be acceptable here? I’m only a buyer, not a seller, but I’m curious.

Greetings, I am just wondering if it is safe to make posts within this group about new auction listings I will be providing on eBay. Your reply to this message will be appreciated. David At least there is somebody with some common sense to ask first. Nope, don’t ply your wares over here. Discussions only, no commercialism.

Nononono, you didnt bother at all, the fact that you asked shows you have some ethics 
We try to keep all of the promotions out of the group, and we basically just discuss ebay and techniques, problems bla bla bla, if we had spam on here, there would be like a gazillion of them to every 1 legit post tbc video scott

David Anyone that wants your spam should ask for a private subscription from you to their mailbox, if you are really intent on spamming, try the ebay.marketplace news group. People look on Ebay for things to buy, they do not come here. You will only piss everyone off. You are given big credit for asking and are very welcome to discuss Ebay here, most spammers spam first, then scurry away after they lay their eggs. stevenscott ——-
