Why is there no posting place for active listings?

Just curious...there is a place for great finishes and one for upcoming attractions but nothing to show off your 3 best current listings! Why?

Because Ebay won't let us have one. There are a couple of people in the group that will have a more detailed explanation but that is what it boils down to.

As @scifidaughter64 said ... here's the link to the explanation:

That`s easy..tis just against Ebay rules. 

 If an item is already listed..Ebay deems it as advertising.  We try to be very careful in our Coming Attractions Thread to pos anything PRIOR to listing it.

Let me tell you from personal experiences, fighting to have these two postings, great finishes and one for upcoming attractions, caused any number of boardies to spend time on eBays pink sandy beaches.  But after any number of visits there we were able to have these two postings approved IF we followed eBays rules of not posting CURRENT LISTINGS.  I truly understand why.  If you had been around twenty years on the boards you would have seen boards taken over by sellers advertising their wares and that is NOT what these boards were set-up for.

Wouldn't that be the equivalent of free advertising and have a good one million posts the minute it goes live?

Yes, have seen spam posts flooding the Boards. Not a pretty sight.

Exactly what are you asking?
