Okay I may be out on a limb, but here goes :

I have no say in the rules of this Forum, but in general, in my humble opinion, a very elegant solution is, if you post frequently to show us your figs, growing succeses and failures and discoveries (This way you contribute to the usefull information on the website), and then you simply add under your signuature, your ebay -seller name and any other links you want to publicize, such as your Youtube channel or web address if you have one. That will generate a lot of traffic for you, but not clutter the topic thread with posts about this and that for sale on Ebay. Thats what makes people complain and say "The forum has turened into Ebay".

So just your sexy Photo of that split-open Gentile fig, and some words about how delicious it is, and then your links in the signature, thats the elegant way  - as far as I remember thats the way Harvey or Herman does it. Trust me, just a whiff of that Gentile fig perfume, will get the punters to come around.

So Ercan my friend, thats also my advice to you ! Do your best to contribute with real and valuable information on the forum about figs and fig cultivation from Turkey ! I know I for one would love to read more about the fig-culture of the Worlds greatest fig-growing country ! and see more Photos ! - and then just in passing, discretely mention your ebay-name and any other links in the signature. This will generate a lot of traffic for you, and at the same time it will add to the usefull content in the Forum ! 

The question of who can sell to whom, will have to be settled amongst the people trading, seller and buyer. So inform your customers of any selling terms and rules in the Ebay-advert. We are plenty of followers of this forum who can buy from you two nice Guys.

I for one would like to see many more usefull and informative posts from You two exerienced fig folks. Vinny with your groundbreaking cool climate fig cultivation and collecting in England, very relevant for my own aspirations, and Ercan who is sitting on top of a well of information, on the shoulders of thousands of years of fig-cultivation tradition in Turkey.  Please share that information with us, Ercan, and the customers will find you.
