Default New section needed - ebay adverts....

not sure if it's anybody else, but im fed up with going in to cars for sale, or the parts sections, seeing a title for a say a cossie, then opening it and it's a ebay link

could we have a section where all the ebay ads go? then it help some of us not wasting our time

this may have been covered before if so sorry

Not sure why seeing an Ebay link in Parts for Sale is a "waste of time"?

You want to buy something, you can buy it on Ebay, I really don't have a slightest clue what the problem is?

And my Ebay link for my intercooler is here : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE:IT&ih=001

Currently on £41, woo hoo! Wouldn't exactly call buying a 500 cooler for £41 a waste of time would you Pete? As that is exactly what it could land up going for.

If you want I'll do a special ad just for the moaners with a price of £250, but would think an Ebay bargain is better for everyone TBH...

I though you HAD to have a price in the thread, an ebay item doesn't unless it has a buy it now.

No price, then the thread gets removed

I don't like it either.

Chances are I have already seen it on ebay anyway

The ones that really piss me off are "Look! Bargain cossie bits"

and then an eBay link inside.

How the fuck is an auction a bargain? It's just going rate...

However, I just hover over the threads and look at the preview...

it wouldnt make any difference imo, people would still post the links in the normal for sale section

how many times do you see...

"show us pics of your..." in the general discussion, when we have a pics and vids section

etc...
