Hi Ryan,
Thanks for asking. The little commissions Oldgas.com gets from eBay are the most important funding source to keep this site operating and offering Shop Talk and Classifieds for free.
The system works like this:
* If you have an eBay auction number from a posted Shop Talk topic or other source, copy and paste it into the eBay search form at the bottom (or top) of Shop Talk pages. Several words from the auction title work well in the search box also.
* Click on the "Auctions" link at the very top of most Shop Talk pages. This brings you to a page with links to auctions closing soon on eBay. These lists are filtered by Oldgas to leave out lots of junk.
* Click on the eBay auctions in the "Right Now on eBay" lists that appear at the top of several Shop Talk forum category pages.
* Browse eBay by searching from one of the eBay search boxes on Oldgas.com pages.
* Registrations of new eBay users from one of our links also earns us a commission. If your wife, kid or friend want to open an eBay user account of their own, have them first click on an eBay search box on Oldgas before they register. New registrations must be active bidders for over a month to qualify for a commission. Please don't abuse this as we will get in trouble.
A "cookie" will record your visit to eBay started from a link on Oldgas.com. If you bid on the item during the next week and win, Oldgas.com gets a commission.
Oldgas.com does not get any commission from links to eBay that are posted within Shop Talk messages. Posting only auction numbers in messages promotes the use of the search box to access the auction that is being discussed.
Thanks to the many members who bid on eBay from Oldgas.com. It has transformed the monthly struggle to pay the bills into a no worry situation.

IF you find an item on ebay that you want to bid on, COPY the # & PASTE it in one of the ebay boxes on this site.

Hi Ryan,
When you list an auction on eBay for a petro or auto service item, be sure to post a message here on the "Online Auctions, eBay" forum of Shop Talk. Put in a description of the item, a picture if you can and the auction number. That way everyone wins. More bidders see your item, Shop Talk members find the auction easily and Oldgas.com gets a little commission if the winning bid comes from our links as explained above.
Sellers can help too, thanks.
