All that creativity and he doesn't even realize he could make more and make it easier as an affilliate

I think he is an affiliate, that's the information he sends once you win the bid.

i don't know, i personally like this one better:

you just have to love the fact that he makes it sound like you're pulling a fast one by not paying him the $5 on the "honor system".

now, would it ruin my reputation if i set up one of these to make a quick buck? i am poor after all.

If anyone remembers alladvantage.com I used to do the same thing, it worked rather well. By the time they closed down for making no money I had a bout 180 direct refferals and was pulling in a few hundred a month for doing NOTHING!

in fact, if you read the ebay rules you will find out that you are expressly prohibited from doing this sort of thing

don't be surprised if the "auctions", and even the ebayers themselves, disappear pretty quickly

Don't be so rough on me, I am just trying to make a buck & get a few sign ups. They playing card deal was to make Ebay happy, I had to have an actual item to sell. As far as it being SPAM, I don't think that qualifies since people search ebay, the ads don 't go to them.

Am I missing something? Look at the bid history--zero bids.
Unless someone is just going to the site and doing the bonus with his code it seems to be ineffective. i.e. "Suppose the gave a war and nobody came".

Why would they? They have the code, they use it, and never return. The card is just something in the post to make it "selling" an item instead of advertising. Although im sure everyone knows it is just a form over substance issue.
