Hello, Ebay is warning to shut down auctions with AW Gallery links if there are any storefront items included that are not currently at auction with ebay. What is the point of having a storefront with AW if we cannot list items for sell not at auction with ebay? Just a warning to other sellers there is someone checking all the items and if there is one not at auction with ebay you will be reported.

Hi Dimento,
We have worked with eBay to make sure that the link that is inserted automatically for your storefront is accepted by them. The link falls under their requirements for their 2-click rule. They only allow one link though, so if your storefront is linked elsewhere in your description you may want to consider taking that link out.

Hi Sonya
My Gallery link has not changed unless AW has changed it, and I have checked it and it has not changed. You do not seem to understand, let me paste the email from ebay and maybe you will get it.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to eBay with your concerns.
I understand that you may disagree with eBay's decision to send you an
Informational Alert for a violation of our Links policy guidelines. I'd
like to explain eBay's position on this matter.
When a violation has been committed we will take the appropriate action
for that item. There will be times when violations such as yours will
slip by because they have not been reported to us. Since we do not
always actively monitor our site for violations of our guidelines, we
often rely on our members to report them to us.
Your auctions contained a link to an Auctionwatch gallery. Often, these
types of links are allowed within a sellers listings, but only if the
gallery contains eBay items only. Because your gallery contains
Auctionwatch store items as well as eBay items, it was necessary to
bring this to your attention.
Please understand that this is in no way meant to question your
exemplary record with us or your standing in our community. However, we
must strive to maintain fair and consistent guidelines amongst all of
our members.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
NOTICE IT SAYS "EBAY ITEMS ONLY".
I have removed all items not at auction, and it makes me wonder what is the point of the storefront, the buyer can get our current auctions from ebay so what is the use to go to auctionwatch?
