Members selling or indirectly advertising on the forum.

[Soner]

There are members that have been selling on the forum, some for years. If you are one of them, whether selling new or second hand goods, then you are in fact running a business, whether or not you have registered it. I have also had businesses using their friends or customers asking them to recommend them in threads on the forum to avoid having to pay for advertising. Please can I ask these members and companies to have some form of consideration and take up a paid advert which will contribute to the running costs of the forum. You are after all making money on the back of the forum, are you not???

Thank you for your kind attention, and sorry to members that have clicked on here and have no interest in this post.

Good point Soner. Only a couple of times have I sold anything on Kibkom, but gladly made a voluntary contribution, you receive so you give, and I very much doubt whether your fees are that expensive anyway!!!

I have never sold anything using kibkom but regularly use it to get information and advice. I would be more than willing to make a donation to help towards the running costs.

How can I do this?

Thank you Trigger, but no need. The forum is making money to cover costs. Just not happy with people making money on back of forum and not supporting.
