I am guessing the member(s) that have a problem with Sully are paid advertisers? Otherwise why would they be concerned? As for the member selling license plate covers who is he in competition with and why do we care if he makes a few dollars? Is this about us not receiving monetary benefit from these sales?
I don't know how we can have any liability tax wise for what is being sold when it's not running thru our accounting. We are a vehicle like ebay and Craigs List with a much smaller audience.
I may be all wet here and if so please overlook my ignorance.:dontknow:
I can pretty much do the call any time.
Members of the website with at least five posts may place advertisements in the Classified Section of the website. Advertisements must be placed in an appropriate category and are limited to woodworking-related items or services that are
For Sale, or
Wanted or are offered
Free to fellow members. Advertisements may
not contain links to off-site auction sites or public sales websites, but may include links to personal or reference websites related to the item in the Advertisement (e.g., manufacturer). Pictures are encouraged within the Advertisement and links to a member photo gallery on
www.ncwoodworker.net or elsewhere are permitted.
Advertisement content must relate to woodworking, tools, accessories for woodworking equipment or workshop items.
Lumber and wood-related products (e.g. veneers) should be posted to the Wood forum instead, not the Classifieds. Members may use the Classified Section for one-time sale of woodworking items they make, but may not market production items for profit. Advertisements
for items may be renewed (bumped) twice; if an item does not sell, the originator should consider reducing price before renewing the Advertisement
.
Commercial Ads or Services for Hire are not allowed in Classifieds, but certain "Special Sales" or Announcements may be placed as outlined below. Any Advertisements that do not meet these criteria may only be posted with the express permission of a Staff member (who shall be named in the Advertisement), or the Advertisement will be moderated or deleted. Classified Advertisements are for members only; guests may browse Advertisements, but do not see any Member contact information.
Commercial Postings
Commercial firms or Members wanting to place Banner or Sidebar Advertisements
should use the Contact Us link for options available.

All added costs such as sales tax or shipping and handling should be clearly spelled out. "Special Sales" shall be limited to once per Commercial Member per month. No finished products may be offered. NC Woodworker, Inc. does not endorse or warrant any products offered and retains the right to remove any ads.
