Is it OK to post a link to an on-topic eBay auction in this group? I
don't want to upset the locals if that kind of thing is frowned upon.

This is *not* a moderated board, and there is no one
*in charge* Post what you like, on or off subject.

Oh Gosh, now watch some self-appointed NetKKKop
jump out from behind the bushes, ready to do battle.
ROTFLMAO!

It is never on-topic to post unsolicited advertisements in this newsgroup.

Ebay doesn't like it and will close your auction if someone reports it.

I reviewed Ebay rules concerning links and could not find any
rule specifically prohibiting links to Usenet, but then Ebay does state
their rules concerning links is not all inclusive. Moreover, I may have
overlooked their rule, if one even exists, about linking to Usenet.
Rest assured though, FArt being a *Top Poster*, will be sure to whine
to Ebay just so he can prove his point.

BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

From http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/newtoeb...et-policy.html
"eBay users may not post on Usenet groups (Internet newsgroups) to
advertise eBay or an eBay listing that is inappropriate or violates the
Usenet board policy."

So it boils down to what the particular group's policy is. The only
reference to a charter I could find for this group is
http://www.faqs.org/ftp/usenet/news..../rec.autos.mak
ers.honda which says it's just for discussing performance related
modifications, & binaries are ok (in a non-binary group?!?), &
commercial adverts are ok but private ones aren't. Which makes it one
of the most bizarre charters I've seen, hence my original question. Are
private 'for sale' & eBay ads really banned?
