What AD means
I just got a very rude email from someone who objected to my request to put
AD in the subject line when directly promoting a web site or selling goods or posting an auction. This has been a rule for this NG as far back as I know. It tags a msg as strictly commercial vs. an informational post or a question. It is also a rule to put OT in the subject line of posts that are off topic. It has also been understood that this NG is primarily for sharing bead info and not for advertising. It is acceptible to put links in your sig to your website, Etsy, Ebay, etc. in any post. However, people who pop in just to post ads, who do not participate in the discussions, and who refuse to follow these simple guidelines should not expect to garner business here. Newbies, although welcome, should always take the time to read a few posts before jumping in and assuming they know what they're doing. -- Karleen Cole Member International Jewelry Designers Guild (IJDG) Vibrant Jewels web sto http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm Etsy shop http://vibrantjewels.etsy.com Vibrant Jewels JustBeads Auctions: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 CLICK HERE to join myYahoo Group: Ebay Auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZvibrantjewels |

Hey, it wasn't me. I've never been a heavy poster in this group, but
I have posted off and on for about 3 years now. The last year has been a particularly long, dry spell for posting, because I've been busy with nursing school, but I do know the group rules of not posting ads. All I wanted to know from my questions was if people were still using eBay, and if they preferred single specific lots, or mixed lots.

S'okie
I'm amazed at how bad eBay has gotten, which is why I asked. It's being taken over by cheap chinese crap...even the handmade artisan jewelry. sigh Seems like the chinese are flooding the market with super low quality, super cheap landfill fodder. I even went to the flea market the other day, and it's the same there. Used to be able to find some unique or antique things...now it's all imported junk. Do people really buy this garbage? Very discouraging. On Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:51:31 -0800 (PST), Maren at google wrote: On Nov 16, 5:20 am, April wrote: Hey, it wasn't me.
