That modern sig thread is impossible to navigate 

i can’t understand why they wouldn’t use separate posts for each set

 

and since he had three threads previously now consolidated, it’s just a cluster

Used to be the post would not load.

That was a nice hidden bonus with the old boards

I think you can fit 100 jpegs into one post now, although the size matters as well.

I don't quite understand the rationale behind posting "standard rules" ...I mean if you can't write out your rules, just copy someone else's and tweak them a little. It's not like you are handing in a term paper;)

would you like my " standard " reply to this? all you have to do is ask.

It's not the size of your jpeg, it's what you do with it that matters

"Happy to complete the sale on Ebay through my Private link since that grants 0% Final Value Fees for me. If you got a 10% Ebay Bucks coupon going on, it's a double win for you too! Ask me in PMs though about this."

Came across this in Modern.

It looks to be at least a violation of the PayPal rule, as in, offering a discount for an alternative payment method. Would it also violate the "board exclusive offer", or no? Just curious as I've never seen it before and aren't too familiar with eBay "private links". It sound like the books aren't technically for sale to the public on eBay, but I'm not sure how I feel about taking the transaction off the boards. If something went sideways, would the parties involved still be eligible for probation etc?

It doesn't sound like this should be allowed on the boards.

As far as recourse to the PL, any transaction between Boardies in whatever venue is eligible, it is not the venue that matters, but whether, at the time of the transaction, both parties were Board members.

As for whether that thread in particular is conform to the rules, post a link if you can...the logic as I read it is "if you want to do this elsewhere let me know..." etc, and I guess if the seller simply removed it from sale here and relocated it elsewhere before finalizing any sale, it would be legit....what you cannot do is have it here and on Ebay at the same time as you advertise it as available to Board members....whether this prejudices Paypal is a separate question but I have no idea what a "private" Ebay account looks like...
