I see you charge for your services.
Why is that - why not give them for free - tell you what - you give your’s away and I will advertise that for free
Deal?
Or is there a bit of hypocrisy you need to deal with now?

Herb,
Alrighty then, I think you’re a bit in over your head when it comes to reasoning that someone can happen to be in the astronomy business and also enjoy astronomy personally. Please refund my $15.00 via PayPal that I sent on May11th and close my account. I am the second person in Tucson that I have talked to recently who found you to be unreasonable and I tried to deal with you professionally to no avail.

Thanks for sending the terms. I don’t see any of the terms below that apply to my use of the website and hope I can continue using it for personal use. I have a business that is in the astronomy world but I don’t have a resellers license as we are a 100% service business and 0% retail.
I know you’re busy and don’t have time to research every member so I hope my clarification is useful.
Thank you,
Ben

Hello Herb,
Thanks for your help.
I’m not sure I’m following, I use the account to buy and sell personal gear and don’t manufacture or have a business that deals in equipment for sale or resale.
I’m just looking to use the website to see other classified ads and sell a few bits of gear on occasion.
Please let me know if you need any further details.
Thank you,
Ben
