Because ebay is such a busy place of merchandise sales with many
various ebay stores and markets selling thousands of items,
there must be a few rules that are set in place to insure that
everyone is playing fair. Ebay auctions are a gift for us to
make easy money without having the overhead or the stress of
running other types of businesses so it is ideal that we all
adhere to their policies.
Very few other issues will get ebay sellers arguing about the
rules no more than the rules on linking to and from your ebay
auctions. Ebay has some very firm rules when it comes to liking
and it would be wise of you to follow them to insure that your
ebay auctions stay online and profitable.
Below are the following links that you may use in your ebay
auction description:
1. On your ebay auction, you may have one link to an additional
web page for information. This web page is to be used
exclusively for further information about whatever ebay item
that you are selling from you ebay auction.
2. Your ebay auction may have links to more photo images of the
merchandise that you are selling on ebay.
3. If you want your customer to click on a link from your ebay
auction that opens up to separate window to send you an email,
then that is ok. In fact this little ebay auction email window
may increase inquiries of your ebay selling item.
4. Ebay auction links that connects to your other ebay auctions
or any of your other ebay auctions stores is also permissible.
5. You may have one link that links to your ebay About Me page.
This is in addition to the link next to your user ID that ebay
provides for your ebay auction.
6. Ebay authorizes you to have links to your vendors' websites
that help you with your auctions. Ebay considers any type of
listing services, payment providers, and software programs to be
3rd party vendors.
In addition to the above Ebay linking rules that are authorized
for your Ebay auctions there are also links that are not allowed
with ebay.
1. You cannot have any links that link to other websites that
offers to sell, trade, or purchase merchandise outside of Ebay.
This should be obvious but many new sellers to Ebay auctions
break this rule.
2. Links to any other websites that encourages ebay bidders to
place their bids outside of ebay are not authorized in your ebay
auctions
3. Your ebay auction cannot have links that link to outside
websites that offers to sell merchandise that is considered
illegal at ebay. 4. Links that connect to websites that solicit
ebay user Ids and passwords is also unauthorized to have within
your ebay auction.
When it comes to linking from your About Me page the ebay rules
are pretty much the same overall with your ebay auction. Because
ebay gives you this page to self promote your business, then
linking to your website from it is allowed.
On the other hand, you need to be sure that the link does
connect to other trading sites or to website businesses that
sell the same product or merchandise at the same price or lower
price than what is advertised on ebay.
