Rabbit, I understand your thinking about paying for the ad, however if you look at your receipt, you will see that you never really pay for an ad. That line will always be a $0.00 value. You can pay for a membership that gives you more bells and whistles, higher ad placement, free photo galleries. Or you can pay for an upgrade such as Featuring it Premiering it, but that is the payment for these kinds of services. You never actually pay for an ad on our site. We wanted to make sure even if you were getting an upgrade you never had to pay for an ad.
In all cases the Honor Payment does help us keep the site free for everyone who may not have the money to sell an item on the site. Lets see if eBay can say the same.
Not trying to discourage anyone from paying an honor payment, but I must be missing something.
I hardly ever sell anything, and even less often I would buy something. I have listed two things on RJ, one item last year (My old truck which I sold to a friend and still made an honor payment because it was still advertised on RJ) and a motor several years ago and both times I had to pay a fee ( I think it was $49 or $59 each time) to put the add on RJ. Again, I must be missing something.
ops: Are you saying I could have posted the add for free and if / when it sold made an honor payment. That would be kinda like a consignment deal wouldn't it??
