Believing Everything You Read
Rons22,
I suspect the OAT guys are far too busy driving their Mercedes' to the bank to cash those fat checks to browse around eBay looking for listings to block. Besides, if they are making so much on the backs of young and wet behind the ears suckers with rich daddies, why would they bother with such trivial sums as what you'll get for your stuff on eBay?
Funny how King Rooney jumps straight on the OAT bashing bandwagon based on "what he read" without bothering to check the facts a bit yet he is perhaps the first one to shout at the top of his lungs that one should NOT believe everything they read!
FACT: eBay does not tell you why they remove a listing other than something generic like you broke the rules. In any case, they do not tell you who reported your alleged violation.
FACT: Anyone can report listing violations or copyright/trademark infringement on eBay.
FACT: OAT allow students to advertise their used stuff for sale on their own forums. I would place a link here, but links to other forums are not allowed so you'll have to look in the Any Other Business folder for yourself.
I just don't find rons22's claim that OAT stopped him from selling his stuff on eBay to be credible.
Maybe when Rons22 finishes eating his humble pie he can post his own advert there for free and sell the stuff to some unsuspecting kid. Heck, he could even include a little marketing hype in the advert and probably get twice as much if the kid believes everything they read as readily as King Rooney does!
