What is your opinion on this?
 

[Posted by Jerry:]

I read a post on a blog entitled: Make Money Posting eBay auctions in Craigslist Using eBay’s Affiliate Links.

The blog is found at: http://www.slackerincome.com/?p=11

My question is... does this sound like a lucrative opportunity or does it violate ebay policies?

Also, is there a way to automate Craigslist listings?

Thanks for your reply.

You may be able to skirt the issue for awhile, but it would come back to bite you sooner or later.

1) Craigslist is very picky about putting links in your ads. Most everyone that tries gets shut down a lot sooner than later.

2) Craigslist isn't kind to "auto" posters. One day your in, next day your out.
