the post here check out ebay policy thru the help center
Offers to Buy or Sell Off-Site
eBay prohibits email offers to buy or sell listed items outside of the
eBay site. Offers of this nature circumvent eBay's fee structure and are a
potential fraud risk for both buyers and sellers. Some examples of off-site
offers include:
a.. Using information obtained through eBay to offer to buy or sell
a listed item off-site.
b.. Canceling a listing to sell to a buyer who became aware of the
item through eBay.
c.. Ending a listing early to sell the item at a higher price to the
winning bidder.
d.. Offering to sell an item to a bidder in a Reserve Not Met
listing.
e.. Offering to sell duplicate or additional merchandise
underbidders.
It is acceptable for sellers to end a listing early in order to sell
an item at the current bid price to the high bidder. Bidders are permitted
to contact sellers with requests to end a listing early; however, sellers
are under no obligation to do so.
Although off-site offers are not permitted, sellers may be able to
sell items to underbidders by sending a Second Chance Offer.
Potential Risk and Reporting Off-Site Offers
Some members have reported receiving off-site offers from sellers who
insist that payment be sent using a third party wire transfer service. These
services are designed to allow individuals to send money to trusted parties
such as family and friends. Requests to wire money to an unknown third party
present a significant fraud risk, especially when the seller is offering to
sell outside of the eBay site. If you have received an offer of this nature,
please refer to the Sending Payments page for more information as well as
instructions that will allow you to report the seller.
Buyers who request that items be sold off-site who wish to pay for the
items with a credit card are also cause for concern, especially when the
buyer requests that items be shipped internationally. These types of offers
may indicate that the buyer is attempting to purchase an item using stolen
funds. If you suspect that this is the case, you can report the member
making the offer from the Receiving Payments page.
Although other offers to buy or sell off-site may or may not be made
with the intent to defraud, there is always a significant level of risk
involved. Please be aware that items purchased as a result of an off-site
offer are not eligible for eBay services, including feedback, contact
information requests, and the eBay Protection Claim program.
If you would like to report a user who is attempting to sell an item
off-site through text in the item description, please refer to the Sales
Outside of eBay page.
To report any other off-site offers, contact eBay with the item number
that the offer refers to, the User ID or email address of the member you are
reporting, and a copy of the email with the full headers attached.
Information on how to send email headers can be found on the Sending Headers
page.

I didn't bother reposting since I figured readers were bright enough to
recognize I was sending them to my ebay listing. For anyone that thinks this
was a direct offer, I apologize, it is NOT. Any listings containing a direct
link to an ebay auction is to be construed strictly as a reference to the
auction.
As for the question posted by STL, <Is scooby stuff protected by copyright
laws from auctions?>, I don't believe so, not if the item is original
merchandise and not a recreation of existing merchandise.
Once again, sorry for any confusion.

> Okay. So why can you put an FA: in front of the name and it be okay?

Good question. The "FA:" clarifies that the item's up for auction, not for
sale ("FS:") on the posted newsgroup. In other words, as NO MORE RETAIL
clarified, you can't put something up for auction and then sell it. It's
unfair to the folks bidding on the item. I believe it's illegal at local
auctions, and it's against policy with online auctions.
It's probably NOT necessary to post with "FA:" in subject line, but it helps
clarify. As far as ebay policy is concerned, if the item sells on ebay and
the seller delivers, there was no violation. Thus, the accusation by NO MORE
RETAIL was unfounded. The accusation needs to come from a buyer that was
treated unfairly. However, I understand how anyone that wants to bid on an
item they see on this newsgroup can get ticked if they think the seller's
trying to bypass the system.

newsgroup Since eBay does not allow to do this you can lose you account
besides the copy right issue
ConTactMe
helpful reminder of the values and policies ebay strives to uphold, but I
didn't see anything about newsgroups. Furthermore, I see other sellers
posting here (and on other NG) constantly, so perhaps I've made a mistaken
assumption that it was OK. If not, then I must wonder why I am singled out,
although I agree correction has to start with someone.
Additionally, you bring up the subject of copyright issues again, and as
long as the article is not a duplicate of a copyrighted item, I cannot any
infringement issues.
I sincerely do appreciate your input and correction of any offense on my
part, as I value the ebay community and want to respect the boundaries.
Thanks.

with this. Guess it's OK for ebayers to post here (& wherever else it's not
a direct violation of FAQ).

Policy
eBay users may not post on Usenet groups (Internet newsgroups) to
advertise eBay or an eBay listing that is inappropriate or violates the
Usenet board policy. If Usenet abuse is reported to eBay, we may among other
remedies remove the listing, issue a warning, or suspend the user's eBay
account.
Please note that eBay can only take action in cases where it's clear
it was an eBay member who posted to the Usenet group inappropriately.
Usenet abuse should also be reported to your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) and the email provider of the person who posted.
www.ebay.com click on help and type in newsgroups and see the topics that
come up

However, now we have to define "inappropriate" and "violates". At ebay Live,
inappropriate was defined as listing something that violated ebay policy,
including, but not limited to, adult or explicit material. In that case, it
was also considered acceptable when listed under the appropriate category.
Thus, "inappropriate', is a pretty slim area.
I'll look into this some more and read the link you listed for me a bit
later. I believe we're still in clear waters, though. Please correct me if
I'm wrong, and thanks once again for your input.
By the way, may I ask about your handle, "NO MORE RETAIL"? I like that idea.
Are you a wholesaler?

at a margin above wholesale. I make money doing several things this is one
of them. I do mail order but not in that sense I use the mail order
catalogs to sell the products by having the schools use them in their
sponsor ship sell. SMC and BnF products are great appetizers for the
older crowd specially around holiday times. I don't sell in bulk to the
competition let them buy their own but I will to regulars customers.
