I am thinking of opening up a store on Auction Watch but are we allowed to show the link to the store on our ebay auctions?

You are allowed to have AutionWatch's "Store Banner" in your Ebay auctions which will link them to your store. Below is how it was explained to me:
Our Stores 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 Store 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 Store by typing in the URL, then the sample items can be from any venue (eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, or fixed-price.)

Thanks gottaluve ..............that sounds great ! I wunder if buyers would have enough sense to click on something.... to see all items in store ...since we can't say that.

I know...I think its a long shot as to how many people will actually end up seeing everything in my store. Today I'm going to edit my WBN to invite them to view my whole store as the check-out. Pushing the fact that there might be items of interest that will go well with their original purchase and the can save on shipping, etc. etc.
