If you think that what ebay charge for aucting an 
item on their site doesn't cover for all their
expenses, you are totaly dreaming. Not only it
_does_ cover, but it bring them huge profite.

On top of that, they also gain money from 
advertising. So you get a paying service with the 
advertising of a free service.

You don't think that it's normal that a shop 
auctioning something put a link its own website in
the description ? Didn't it ever occured to you 
that it may make a differance to the buyer to know 
if they are dealing with a private person, a small 
shop or a big company ?!?
And people auctioning _are_ paying for this kind 
of advertising. Or do you believe that this 
advertising is not one of the main reasons people 
auction item there, at least for big 
shops/companies ?!?

As to reading the rules, I already saw Ebay 
companing about people breaking rules... that 
didn't even existed. It seems they lost all my 
mails asking them where it was writen... 
(strangly enough as they received my other mails 
correctly)

Now, I remind you that this is the Cel Forum.
And that you are _not_ allowed to make advertising 
for Ebay on it else, I will close your auc... err 
delete your mail. You are only allowed to put a 
"click here" link but nothing mentioning the 
content of ebay, what ebay is and their name.
