TradeMe hypocrites
The content and the item in this listing is not suitable to sold on the site. TradeMe reserves the right to remove other items that are not on our Banned and Restricted items lists if they are considered offensive or are in breach of our terms and conditions.
In case you couldn't read the picture in my previous post, I was basically selling stickers that said the following :
So there you have it, a simple sticker got pulled off TradeMe. Maybe I just hang out with the wrong crowd, but I've seen some pretty slanderous stickers before. I think that's the whole point of stickers, they say something shocking, and mine were really just telling the truth- the fact that TradeMe has inappropriately banned me from selling 50 words. They were innocent and legitimate auctions selling 50 words. Because TradeMe continually gave me nonsense reasons for pulling my auctions I was led to sell stickers instead. And now I can't even sell stickers! These guys really need to go to business school to see how to run their own! ¶ 6:49 PM

TradeMe wouldn't let ANovelMillion.com sell 50 words!!
They made up reasons why they wouldn't let him sell them, but none of them were valid and they contradicted themselves and other auctions that were allowed to run.
So, I bought this sticker instead to decorate my windows with.
