That would be nice indeed.. Perhaps it could be for cages and other stuff as I wouldn't want to promote any breeder who is not good..

No I don't think so.. Only if it would be a company. But I don't think they'd like to advertise here?

Ok cool, then I think it's a good idea, as long as no business are advertised. I think if businesses want to advertise then it's only fair that they should contribute money to the site Smile

Yeah, I agree.. But I don't think they will want to advertise once it costs money. I'm also not sure what to do with bad products. I don't want them advertise here.. Rolling Eyes

Well I guess I just meant like people who may have a home business or something, for example making parrot toys. Would they be allowed to advertise their business? That's what I was thinking more than actual big companies.

Classifieds I think is appropriate for selling/trading used items like cages, parrot towers, ect.

We do this on my Chinese Crested forum.

There are a few people who are artists who offer their services on sketches and the like.

But other stuff are clothing (naked dogs, remember?) treats, or toys.

Some people are very creative (like the ones who make the clothes) and it's nice that they are willing to share this with others.

Usually, they don't do it to make money. They will either just sell it for what it costs to make it, or take any profits and donate it to Crest-Care (national breed rescue for Chinese Cresteds)

"Fluffies" the EBay of the Bird World...... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Go ahead, then Google will be knocking on your Door......$$$$$$$


If Sue can handle all the leagal issues. All the different Countries, Currency Exchange rates, Fraud protection. This is only the tip of the Ice burg. What a head ach that is..

Suggestion, Informally Sue could setup a Forum and call it "For Trading" and then let who ever put what ever they want on there providing they follow the foruming rules, Think long and hard about making it a formal part of Fluffies. I am sure the you can get a better insight from KellyAnne. But when Money starts crossing boarders then Goverments general want a pice of the action....

Anyway thats my thoughts on the matter.

John
