OTG, the "promoting ebid" forum is *not* as you might expect from the name for promoting your sales, it's for discussing ways of promoting both ebid and your items outside ebid. As you will see if you read some of the existing posts.
You may promote your own stuff *only* in the "plug your auctions" thread and only once per day.
Unfortunately, infractions of this rule can get you into trouble, so please do take the time to understand how the forums work - it's in your own interests!
