    Is it considered OK to promote a bike related item I have FS on Ebay via
    this newsgroup?

    I'd say yes purely because you've gone to the trouble of asking
    beforehand.

    As long as it isn't a commercial post, it should be fine.

    Ebay is an auction unless you have a "buy it now" price.

    Ebay apparently has a policy about this sort of question.

    In uk.rec.motorcycles, Greybeard amazed us all with this pearl of
    wisdom:
    "eBay users may not post on Usenet groups (Internet newsgroups) to
    advertise eBay or an eBay listing that is inappropriate or violates the
    Usenet board policy."

    ICBW, but I'm sure the charter says it's ok as long as it's a private
    (as in individual) advert and advertises motorbike related shit.

    But hey, fucking shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong ;)

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Mark
    Be aware that should your listing contain "L@@K!" or "R@RE!", a crack
    team of UKRM commandos will hunt you down and be rude to you.

    Also be aware that if you've bought or sold anything amusing in the last
    few months we *will* laugh at you. Lots.

    Or pornographic, militant, weird, nerdy etc etc etc...

    eBay wont give a shit about bike related stuff going on a bike related
    newsgroup, so no worried there. The group wont mind as long as you don't
    e-mail everyone privately or relist it every 20 minutes with the title
    "AMAZING BARGAIN" on it.

    There's always someone who complains about everything, just ignore them...
