| How Do You Feel ................ I was just wondering how do you all feel about people coming to YT just to post products for sale dog or no dog related. I am talking about the people who just become members in order to post their merchandise and post about nothing else. |

| Well i did not say they weren't reading the post it is just they have made a couple of posts about their merchandise and if no one response then they do not come back until someone is intrested in their merchandise i did not know this was a place to advertise any kind of merchandise just like a regular classifieds website. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Well, it could be that maybe they don't own a yorkie (merchandise posters). Maybe they make the products and chose to place them here for us Yorkie lovers to purchase. Now breeders, hhhmmm, don't know what to say about them. |

| There are people who sign up for several forums everyday to just to sell their products. There was one person on a forum I belonged to who became a member of several types of forums just to post different sob stories so people would put money into his account. I did a search on his name and he was full of scams from begging people for money for a sex change to needing money to remove a fifth leg off his dog. Not saying everyone does this but it common. |

Administrator | We only allow people to post for sale products in the For Sale sections. It is sometimes annoying, but sometimes there are good deals or good products and we believe that allowing them to post is okay for now, IF it's in the right section. If it ever gets to becoming a problem, we can always moderate that section. Any For Sale posts in the wrong sections should be reported to us and we will deal with it. Thanks! |

| I don't have a problem with it personally as long as they are following the rules and post abt it in the shopping section. Since admin posted abt the rules, I havent seen anyone do it. As far as them advertising their goods... Actually I like it bc there are several products and sites that I have recently learned abt bc I have seen the post on YT.

| Hi guys. I may be one of those people, but I would like to think not. I actually came accross yorkietalk beacuse it showed up on my website statistics that someone put a link from here to my website. I am so glad I came accross it because right around that time I had just bought a yorkie. This forum was so wonderful because it helped me with so many questions or yorkie problems I had. I also enjoy reading everyone elses experiences and pictures. However, I am guilty of advertising my products sometimes. I am sorry if I was ever annoying. But I think the website is great for all types of yorkie lovers and I am so glad I found it!

| As long as they aren't causing a nuisance, I could care less. They aren't bothering me, so why should I care if they are only here to sell merchandise. Also, they are the ones missing out on all the valuable YorkieTalk information that goes on everyday. If they would rather sell things than be part of a wonderful community dedicated to chatting about our "children" than so be it, as long as they aren't disturbing anyone by posting merchandise in the wrong section. Ya know? |

| I personally dont think that it is right for just anyone to come on here to post things unless it is in the right place and the rules are followed. |

| I think is wonderful, You can get a puppy and get the things you may need. Its like going into a pet store. They don't just sell pets. they have things people may need for there pets too. and if we can save a dime and shop on line, I see nothing but a blessing from it. I know it is very hard to find things in my little town for very small dogs. I have to drive 45 mile to shop. SO I say and this is just my Opinoin. Shop intel you drop... |
