469 forum posts 50 photos | Is it against the rules to mention on this site, when you have posted something of interest to model engineers, on ebay; perhaps in the classified section? It seems a pity that someone might miss out on something they might want, simply because they do not look at eBay that often. |

1719 forum posts 1 photos | I've never understood why so many people on this site use euphemisms when mentioning eBay .... as though it's somehow a banned word. |

![]() 2052 forum posts 56 photos | To use the word casually is fine, it's only when it becomes professional promoting that it's too intrusive. To mention or recommend a supplier of engineering goods is almost part and parcel of the hobby, but it's not meant to be a welcome mat for spam, is what it comes down to. Michael W |
