Hey There-
Anyone know if your allowed to have links from your Ebay "ME" Page to your own website which promotes similar/Same products you sell on Ebay. I noticed allot of Huge Powersellers do this.. is this allowed?
I know your listings can't contain links your site...but what about your "Me" Page?
Thanks,
RC

And I was called on this once ... when I had a separate website aside from ebay, and my " about ME" page 'invited' (or 'offered') people to look at our website store for more of our items, even though the 'about ME page had been this way for years, I suddenly got an email from some ebay poobah, that said if I didn not change my wording to my website link, that they would do it for me! ....... I had to pretty much say, "doh, we have a website here www. (our things) .com ........ i was NOT allowed to say, "please come look through my (off-ebay) website to buy more stuff from us" ..... it is a very thin tightwire to walk ...... sheesh.
