I got a nice little letter from ebay, asking me oh so politely to stop using a live link to my AW storefront in my auction descrptions. I can use my about me page to advertise my home page, it sez. So, okay I went through my AW preferences and removed the live link copy. HOwever, I just now went to create a listing and when I looked at the preview, the automatic "Visit my Auctionwatch Storefront" logo is right there, under "additional Information". Hmm... How do I remove it? Do I have to remove it?
IS AW negotiating with ebay about this?

Hi Dragonmom,
Our Storefronts are within eBay regulations because of the "2-click" rule. No link on eBay can link with 1-click directly to competing items. We have worked with eBay to solve this issue by making the banner on eBay link to your Storefront Home Page which contains ONLY eBay items.
Buyers will have to click on a category, complete a search or click on the SHOP tab, to find your items listed on another venue or for sale at a fixed price (when that is launched).
The sample items are 100% eBay items, only when buyers follow the link on your eBay auctions. If you go directly to the Storefront by typing in the URL, then the sample items can be from any venue (Amazon, eBay, or Yahoo!).
Are you including a link in your auction item description that goes to your storefront, other than the banner in Additional Information?
