Hiya all. I was checking out the Marketplace just now and noticed that a couple of days ago, within the space of two hours, one person posted no less than 14 (possibly more, I lost count) threads with eBay links. I guess my question is, is this recommended? Are we allowed – maybe even encouraged – to post multiple separate links to products or auctions? Just wondering about what you guys prefer when it comes to those of us with more than one thing to sell. I don’t want to come off as spammy. OTOH it’s probably a case-by-case basis thing, right? I’d usually PM a mod to ask if I wanted to ensure I didn’t run afoul of the rules. ---

I have merged all the threads into one. We did not put a limit on it. In a case like this I would advise to put all the items into one thread. And use pictures. Don’t just link to the auctions. And FYI, the poster wrote me to ask for permission, I gave it, thinking it was one or two. If you’re not sure, ask. Thanks for the note.
