    Its hard to believe after thousands just got booted from ebay for violating the new gun parts policy that gunbroker would post a link back to ebay.

    Maybe GB and ebay worked out an agreement? GB advertises for ebay, and ebay gets out of the gun business?

    I'm guessing that GunBroker subscribes to a search engine to generate those links and that fleabay pays the search engines to put them at or near the top.

    Ever try to search in the internet to see who owns GB HOLDINGS, INC.??

    Other names turn up and it's an interesting endeavor, but ebay does not turn up.

    Maybe someone on GB suggested to Ebay to get out of the gun parts business, and maybe some favors were exchanged to accomodate that---just maybe.

    Clouder..

    It appears that page is created by a feed from "Moreover Technologies" (a VeriSign company). So, nobody from GB really controls what is posted there -- they signed up for a feed about gun industry news, and the links that get posted there are based on some stats and keywords digested by some "logic" from Moreover Technologies. With E-Bay's new policy, they are probably hitting high in the stats, keywords, search terms, etc used to determine the content displayed on the page. And E-bay probably has a contract with Moreover Tech that says something like "all links to E-bay will look like this and go here" . . . .

    Or maybe GB and E-bay are in cahootz. [;)] [:D]

    ebay is a bunch of idiots. they jsut sent me a message telling me about their "new policy", if you get more than 5% negative or neutral feedback over 90 days, your account gets suspended.

    so you got to have more than 20 positives for even 1 neutral feedback.

    plus, they said that a user's ebay account can get suspended, but their paypal account won't at this time. ho-ho-ho! that would make the shtf.

    ebay sucks. they think they've got everybody over a barrel or they wouldn't pull this crap. anyways, you go and look on their forums, everybody there says their customer service is crappy or nonexistant. they constantly get a negative feedback rating.
