please advise me why my post keeps getting deleted? It's a grabbit?

You posted that 3 times now. Is that your ebay account?

The deal was not free as you claimed either its 0.01p start bid. Seller has zero feedback

I suspect board guide moved it as it didnt last long on boards

Hi, thanks and it is yes, just a new business trying to get reviews. The ebay post says it's free as all you need to do iss message me, not bid - you can't list as costing nothing on ebay that I can see hence had to put 1p start. I reposted as it kept getting removed hence 3 times.

You cant use forums to advertise your business hence why it was removed

I don't think you can advertise your own business on Grabbit:

"Why was my post about my company/site/blog/offer deleted?


MoneySavingExpert.com is a free site - you cannot pay to buy advertising space - one of the reasons why so many people use it! Equally, you're not allowed to advertise any goods, services and/or companies anywhere on the forum, or through private messages, no matter how honourable your intentions.

'Advertising' includes touting for business; asking people to contact you; posting e-mail addresses which indicate a web address; linking to sites or blogs you or friends are involved with (whether you’re selling something or not); or linking to your eBay or other auction sales.
All posts which we consider to be advertising will be removed where reported.
If you're a company/business and you think you have a genuinely good deal worth letting our site users know about, please email our Deals Team on [EMAIL="vouchers@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]. Do not post it on the forum".

Your posts were removed as they broke the rules.

OK fair enough but surely all the adverts people are putting on for grabbits are giving the selling place advertising? I'm not arguing, just simply my view. I won't repost it - thanks

but they are not advertising their own businesses, which is what you were doing and which is not allowed on MSE

I would just add that if all of us with eBay accounts advertised them on here the site would become unusable.
