Forum

How would they know who to sue if it's all ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info? Just a suggestion, maybe make a private area of the forum where the more veteran people discuss the new tricks and ideas. Then use the public forum area to advise newcomers what to do without giving them access to the 'top secret' tricks.

Maybe some nude pictures of eBay ex-employees? :D

Ah i was once on a forum about 5 years ago doing the same thing. What they did is they didnt let the people see the forum unless they were actualy logged in. So then you would know who they are. ^^

You accept the liabilty of doing bogus info etc yourself. Paying for information how to do it and get in trouble by doing it, sounds kinda wrong in a way but im not to sure on that.

My thoughts and ideas ^^

Organizing all information in this forum would take work. But if that's what it takes to make membership a deal, then that's what will happen.

I agree with coopster. I think taking the forum private with an initial and then monthly fee will bring in those that really need and *possibly* discourage leaks. But I also agree that the info thus far needs to be consolidated a little more if it's a for pay site, or at least the guide needs to be updated with what we know (paypal's new linking system to old account, etc)

Yep so it's official. I'm 99% sure the forums will be private in 1-3 weeks. I'm now creating an Ultimate Q&A and eBay suspension guide to give away to new and current members with all details about eBay. Hopefully I'll be done sooner, but if you're not a member of this forum and just lurking. This is the time to join before things turn private. Just a warning.

points to consider
 

fees will hinder more talents to this forum.

i bet ebay will still input spys into the forum to gather information to hunt us down like they always do :mad: :mad: :mad:

information will be more discreet, thus a safer place.

i bet more free sites like this will pop up if it becomes a success.

ebay will have a way to deal with us by asking for more security and verification, but ebay will lose more customers. in the other hand since ebay cant see us personally we can do whatever we want to use ebay anyway.

i worried that ebay would try means to close down this information shared forum.

just my point of view...

how abt presenting suspended account verification an additional requirement.
Giving ebay Trust and Security more work to do :P :P like they did to us.

like user name suspended ebay user and re-created ebay user?,
details , email from ebay trust and security regarding account suspension.



and this information will only be shared with the adminstrators.

We have enough talent here to bounce ideas off of....make it private & just make new members pay and all of the OGz in for free!

That's the plan.

Thats a good way to hustle more money from free members. Kick them off and have them come back on as paying member which equals more $$$$..

Lol, I don't condone that. That's just wrong.

:)
The forum might actual benefit from a 'spring cleaning'....what is the estimated ratio between 'lurkers' and posters??

Cheers

Probably 80% lurkers and 20% posters.

Aspkins, been a member for about 3 weeks and I'm behind you 100%. The information is priceless and it takes money to make more money. I think all of us can make this forum even better than what it is now. Aspkins, I think you should have a backup web address just in case ebay tries to shut this down. Information is one thing however excepting money changes everything (Even if it is only for maintaining your servers.)

Dang, this thread made the lurkers come out like roaches when the light came on. Or like relatives coming out from the wood work when you hit the lottery..

People I that haven't post in hear before is all of a sudden posting now

the word is out!!

they want to get in before they have to pay.

(sure glad i'm already in!)



i don't know about anyone else here but i would buy an aspkin.com t-shirt to help cover aspkin's costs. now i'm not saying aspkin should "sell out" and start selling mugs, pens, and other crap. a shirt is different. you wear it out in public and someone recognizes it, you will REALLY have something in common to talk about.

lmao aspkin t shirt! Yah and then well get the aspkin ebay strike flags, and alllllll of us go marching down there and start a petition lmao


Hell i would even buy an aspkin hat!

If people are going to be paying why don't you have a chill spot thread where we can kind of talk off topic?

lol, what should the forum be called Chris? The Lounge?

"Chill Spot" We all need to cool off(chill out) off Ebay every now and then. You feel me.

lounge or "place for you drunken *******s" lol

Thats basically what i was trying to get at..lol Saturday night special..
