eBay's terms to linking...
----------------------------------------
Links and Credits
Links from your item listing
eBay allows sellers to place the following types of links in your item's description:
One link to a page that further describes the item being sold in that listing.
One link to your email address that opens an email client for potential bidders to ask questions about the item in that listing.
Links to photos of the item for sale.
Links to your eBay or Half.com listings.
One link to your About Me page (in addition to the About Me icon already provided by eBay).
Links that provide credits to third parties.
If you have a logo for any of these links, it may be no greater than 88x33 pixels. (Exception - links to your eBay or Half.com listings).
Linking to web sites that offer to trade, sell or purchase goods or services, or including links for any purpose other than those listed above is not allowed. Prohibited links include, but are not limited to:
Links to web pages that offer to trade, sell or purchase goods or services outside of eBay
Links to web sites or pages offering merchandise is not permitted on eBay
Links to sites that solicit eBay User Ids or passwords from bidders
Links that encourage bidders to place their eBay bids through a site other than eBay
**********
Further explanation:
When linking to a page that further describes the item you are selling, that page may contain links to other pages that offer items for sale outside of eBay. This is permitted, provided the intent of the link is to further describe your item and the link conforms to the policy above.
When linking to your email address to open an email client for potential bidders to ask questions about the item in that listing, that link may only be used to enable an email client through which potential bidders can ask questions about the item you are selling in that listing. It may not take you to another web page or promote other items that you may have for sale outside of eBay.
