Whilst I understand and agree that eBid owners have the right to do almost anything they want with this site, it is incredibly annoying and demoralising to be told that users are not permitted to show links and/or images promoting offsite businesses and then get confronted with adverts for competitors that are not only permitted by eBid, but are actually shown by another of your own companies.
The particular ad I am taking issue with is this one:
When many eBid users are working very hard to promote both their own listings and the site in general it is perceived by many as a slap in the face to see officially permitted adverts which promote auctions on competitor sites.
If eBid is contractually obligated to accept any adverts regardless of the business shown, please tell us. If it is an issue out of eBid's control, please tell us.
It is often the lack of officially released information on eBid related issues that causes the most bad feeling and discontent.
