e-bay references

The increasing frequency of threads referring us to particular e-bay items makes me wonder about the reasons why. Occasionally it is a call for help or advice with an item, but too often it is just an apparent invitation to go and look at the site. That seems commercially inappropriate for this BB. And if they are just throwaway remarks, why are they being made? E-bay is well enough known to all of us without this. Perhaps if these people stated in the heading of the thread that it refers to e-bay, it would let those of us with no interest in it to ignore it? Am I the only one to find this kind of subterfuge irritating? Karel.

PS: Very occasionally the reference is to an item of possible general interest, but very rarely.
