I posted about stupid eBay changing their policy so they don’t allow links on Blogger, WordPress and other third party sites. That means I must go through my posts on the old blog over at Blogger and remove links to eBay. I used to post a link to an auction once in a while when I found something really interesting.
I had forgotten what those posts were about but going through them I found some really interesting stuff again. Rather than just delete all the links I instead changed the link to go to a fun little page that lists current auctions that are similar to the one that I originally posted. So as an example and a look at the fun little page I did, check out this list of auctions for male chastity devices, hehe.

Interesting. I guess male chastity isn’t highly valued because, with one exception, these are all pretty low bids.
Tell us, Ms. Sweetheart – why the interest in male chastity, eh?
Regarding the e-bay situation, though, in re-reading your previous post and the attached article, it sounds like becoming an Amazon affiliate is a better choice for most people.

I think it may have to do with taxes. Many states are taxing affiliates (or trying to) and thru affiliates try to tax the main company even though they do not have a presence in that state.

Ebay is more vulnerable since people are “in” the state selling.
This is another case of killing the goose that lays golden eggs!

Oh, change in policy of a U.S. based company confuses you? Please understand that truth died when George Bush came to power and today it is no better but getting worse.

That solution is pretty weird to say the least.
