Question:
Now that Ebay is going to prohibit links to offsite pages, does that mean Auction Watch's "Go to my Storefront" link is now/will be illegal?
I have a link on my pages that says, "Click Here To View My Other Auctions" and have it linked to my storefront. Is that/willbe illegal under Ebay's new dictate, I mean policy?
If that is/will be the case, it seems that the Storefront optin will become moot. Any clarification out there?
Thanks,

NO it dont mean that it is not illegal if thats how you want to put it to link to outside pages.
your links to your AW store front will not be against there policy because it only links to a welcome page you must click a second link to veiw item.
also any outside link to any gallery of item you have currently listed can be linked to from your listing pages.on that page you can offer links to your store fronts and website as long as your link dont mention other items for sale.
Also if haveing your website URL visable is a must you can change yourt user name to your website URL.
you can still have outside links in your listings to your website if it take two links and you dont draw the veiw by advertizeing other items outside ebay for sale.
All auction services links are still allowed as always like paypal AW bidpay and the rest as long as they are added by the service and not by you.

Thanks much for the information. I really appreciate it as I was starting to sweat bullets concerning this new policy. With summer coming and sales slowing down, a seller needs all the leverage they can get.
