Well hello to everyone. Some folks here know that I am a fan of one auction site and like the staff and am pleased with the number of sales and customer service.
I am also thrilled to so many users from other auction venues join us. We at (name I am warned not to mention).com are glad to see so many people leaving the high fees behind to join a family style community of online buyers and sellers.
Wether you are a Majorseller or a newbie you are all welcome at my favorite auction site.

I'll say it for you...bidbay, bidbay, bidbay...or bidlessbay (what most people experience when they go there).
Reasons to not use Bidlessbay:
1)If you're not part of the family (or cult) on the chat boards, you get flamed for constructively stating your honest opinion about the site (no other auction sites do this)
2)90% of the bidding action happen in with bidbay bucks...worthless to serious sellers
3)Way too many contests with the same participants...this leads to people bidding with no intention of winning or paying for the item, for the sole purpose of winning the prizes.
4)The site is more clunky than an old car...instead of using the money to run contests and buying auctiondiner and snuze, they should look into hiring more engineers to clear away the bugs...what is the purpose of buying auctiondiner and snuze?...seems to be just another forum for family (cult) members to chat
There are more reasons, but it'll take forever to list...

floridaborn,
As I told you via email, inviting our members to a site and encouraging them to buy/sell there is considered promotional. Mentioning the name of the site is not what is prohibited; the promotion of the site is.
You have not mentioned a site in your post, but it is clearly promotional and genius is not required to determine which site you're promoting. Normally, I would delete your post, but in this case that would delete the entire thread. I am leaving it to demonstrate what you can not do.
Please keep in mind that promotional posts of any kind are prohibited. You are one post away from suspension.
