I am new to Astromart. I posted an ad for my pair of 8x30 CL Swavorski binoculars, then receive a threatening and lengthy email telling me I am in violation. What is this? The binoculars are mine. I posted a brief description and a purchase price. How am I in violation of anything?????? Then I look, and my ad has been taken down. So I repost it. Then I am threatened with being kicked out of Astromart. No explanation why. WHAT IS GOING ON? [SIZE="Large"][/SIZE][COLOR="Blue"][/COLOR] sad

A "lengthy" email? I am reasonably confident Herb has never sent a lengthy email in his life LOL

There are a number of reasons for which an ad will be taken down. 1. You posted personal contact info in the ad. 2. You stated you were selling them for someone else. 3. You are running the ad simultaneously on another site (particularly ebay). Those are just the three that come to mind right off....

You might refer to the terms of service (TOS) and make sure your ad doesnt violate any of the conditions set forth therein... http://www.astromart.com/aboutus/terms.asp then repost it.
