Thank you Ozmoid for clarifying... It was just that after the admonition by Grumpy, I was concerned that I, or someone, would screw up by making a non-permissible link to an eBay ad.
So the following is actually "the spirit of the rule":
As long as the link is for the sake of discussion, (i.e. "Jeez: Look at this guy thinking he's going to get $1000 for that 80s Zenith color TV on ebay"), and is not an attempt to promote any item for sale, it's OK. But to post "Hey; here's a link to my CT-100 on eBay", is NOT OK. Additionally, other members and I have posted warning references to ads on eBay which may have been fakes or fraud, and perhaps such postings as those will protect a fellow member from a loss.
Most recently, a prewar Meissner TV on eBay was discussed in a thread here, and many facts about that TV were brought to light, allowing any AK buyer to make a more educated bid on it. That particular TV had passed through my hands, as well as at least 1 other AKer's. I offered some facts about it which were not mentioned in the seller's ad. May we assume that a thread like that is also OK?
