Default Just a sign of the times
eBay is inexpensive advertising for a car dealer.

Default Actually, I think it violates the dealer's exclusive-area franchise agreement w/AoA...
...by effectively engaging in marketing cars nationwide.

Default 2Tonic, please clarify
I can't tell whether you are replying to me or to Paldi.

If to me, I meant what I said, eBay is a good vehicle for inexpensive advertising for a car dealer, whether or not the car actually sells on eBay.
