| I tried posting a few listings on Craigslist with a link to my Ebay auction and my listings got flagged. Why is this against their policy? |

In MY Opinion... because CL is for selling items, NOT for advertising your eBay listings.
No where on CL is there a category for "Items listed on eBay".... but then the owners/controllers of CL make whatever decision they determine to be in their line of reasoning.
I would contact CL to find out why. Maybe it is in their policy letter somewhere.... |

| Craigslist is designed for local person to person sales. It is against their policy to have any links in your Classified Ad. Although feebay owns a 28% stake in CL, they are currently stabbing them in the back also, in the form of a lawsuit. I'm sure donahoe figured if investors see the 'Monster' going after CL the stock would drop, and BAM, another feebay acquisition. |

| I don't know why anyone would think that CL could be an alternative to eBay. I look at CL, and I don't even want to see people listing individual items on there. One person per post. There is too much clutter when people list items individually. Lets keep CL for larger items such as furniture and equipment please. If you have lots of smaller items, just put them all in one post and be done with it :D |

You're not supposed to put a URL on there. Frankly though, I'm not sure why you would post your Ebay listings to craigslist - what's the point? Seems like overkill since Ebay is supposed to have such high traffic and also gets caught in Google searches.
I have posted Ecrater store items to craigslist-- some have been flagged some haven't. I just don't put a URL in, but ask buyers to contact me directly. |

You can post your link to your feebay store on CL. As a matter of fact you can link to all your stores or anywhere on the web. The catch is: Drumroll Please............
YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A BUSINESS AD!!!!!!!! :wink: |
