Now I understand that Poppins makes good sacks that she sells to people on the site, however there are people on here who are trade members which mean they pay for their advertising, which in turn pays for the running of the site, which in turn enables Poppins to reach her customers. So the problem is that there is a certain group of members who are footing the bill for others to ply there their trade, is that fair? That is the question that we are asked by trade members who pick up on this sort of thing and it puts us In a very awkward position.
Our usual stance is that if you wish advertise you goods then you have to pay the rate, when this question has been raised before with Poppins she has stated all sorts about how much is charged for the items, how much the raw materials cost, how much she does or does not make out of each transaction. All well and good but what does that mean to our paying trade members? not a thing as they see it as they are paying the bill for someone else to sell their goods. We have turned a blind eye to the "unofficial" advertising that has been going on via the posts praising the goods but things have become more open lately with several threads dedicated to the roe sacks and members openly asking to be supplied. We have now reached the point where either the advertising is paid for, £10 per month is not a kings ransom, or any reference to this product ceases, this is not open to negotiation or discussion it has to be in order to be fair to everyone.
