    Why is this sub-forum full of fake jersey listings? If someone visiting BigSoccer didn't know any better, they would buy a fake jersey that was referred to them by this site.

    Does anyone else find this strange?

    I think they just scan eBay for any and all jersey listings then post them there. I agree that it is a bit odd and that starting that subforum is a bit questionable.

    Why did they start a ebay subforum in the first place? It just randomly showed up one day......

    Not 100% sure but i think BS has made some sort of deal with eBAY. I think that JC knows more about it.

    We are currently testing a 30 day partnership between eBay and BigSoccer for them to put these adverts in a subforum. After 30 days I will be discussing your feedback to this, so please post your opinions in here so we can get Huss and eBay to have a look and make a final decision.

    FYI, none of the mods were consulted on this, it wasn't something we planned. Much like the forums being split up, the site admin's did it so please don't blame us.

    My opinion? If buying a fake jersey off eBay doesn't leave a foul taste in your mouth, the fact that it was "referred" to you by a supposedly trustworthy website definitely will. Just my 2 cents.

    I've not really looked at it to be honest ive just been keeping an eye on the threads in this section. But i think if fake shirts are being sold ... it would be silly for BS to be associated with it all to be honest.

    well Huss assured me in some other thread that they weren't fakes, but most of them are obvious fakes from the far-east...i actually like searching and finding stuff on ebay by myself, without the help of a bigsoccerbot
