Using the For Sale board in classifieds to sell brand new goods as a business

I'v got rather confused by this. I thought it was just for selling unwanted and used items. Has this changed?

I thought it must just be in sour grapes mode (which it is tbh)but it so blatant, seller refers to stock taking, wholesalers and links to the ebay shop where seller is a power seller and sending out loads of parcels

I noticed this and thought it was a bit strange (and unfair) too.

I noticed a lot of links to an ebay shop too. Its not the same as selling unwanted clothes and toys.

It is if you have 10 adverts at the same time which on the small business board where you can't post a photo it costs £25.00 FOR ONE...if it is now allowed I shall do it myself...the one I'm thinking of is sending out 10 to 20 parcels a day from ebay and here...

I have, but thought perhaps I was wrong and the policy had changed and you could now advertise and link to an ebay shop through the classifieds.
