ebay using lp101 in item description

Haha i just found this on ebay and thought it was pretty funny:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Schlage-B162N-Antique-Brass-Double-Cylinder-Deadbolt_W0QQitemZ180134284322QQihZ008QQcategoryZ85895QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If you read it, it says "Want a secure lock? Look at the frustration lock pickers have with this deadbolt: http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?p=197877."

It's like they think that everybody on this site are master lockpickers! Is it common for people to hyperlink lp101 to sell their locks? I've never seen that before so i thought I'd share it with you.

Frustrating, yes it can be for many. Secure? Nah.

Personally i call witch hunt, someone get me the user name on here of this person :twisted:

Seriously though, we dont mind the site linked but in this way i personally do not think it suitable to do so,

Ive had a think about this, i am sure its against ebay policy to have links in your listing so lets get those reports in,

If the owner of the ebay account wants to pm me we can stop this thread anytime but personally i think including a link to threads on this site in the way that you ae doing it is not really what we want,

Wre could always change the threads of course so that the ones you link to suddenly become threads that are saying things like how easy the locks are to pick or even a thread saying do not buy from this seller :lol:

Its no biggy really but it does put the rest of us down when you link to threads noobs have started when they first start picking and suggest they are the voice of the community,

Any of the locks you have for sale can be opened by most of us with little trouble,

Ps, love your FAQ's, seems that you arent getting the best deal on your locks if you cant drop any on price because they are already priced at slightly above cost, maybe someone on here can get you better deals so you can drop your prices,

It is against ebays rules so get complaining, wouldnt be so bad if we had been asked permission but we havent,

Heres the link you need, simply click the email button and it will send it through the ebay system,

Alternitively go to each of their listings and go to the bottom of the screen and press report this ite,
Then choose the options that say its a listing that contains unauthorised links, theres a couple of selections you can choose regarding links in listings as they really dont want them on listings so you can choose any of the ones which fit in with this complaint of which there are at least 2,

I agree with you Shrub, i think its wrong to link to threads in this site where noobs are still learning how to pick so as to promote an item for sale! I've reported each of the ebay listings which contained this link so hopefully we can put a stop to this.

I sent the guy an email last night when I saw this thread. No answer yet.
