Hi akt - you can put a link to ebay in your Yahoo auction, but you cannot do the reverse.
To link Yahoo auctions from ebay you have to have a buffer page - a link from the ebay auction to your website which has a link to your Yahoo auctions..

if you read the yahoo TOS on thios subject you can place a link to other sites from yahoo only if you provide a return link to yahoo.
but you can not provide a link to yahoo from ebay sales I know last week I signed up for auctiva and I show cased yahoo and ebay auctions got a email from safe harbor about 36 hour later telling me my auctiva links were against there policy becuase I was showing my yahoo auctions mixed with other sales.
they did shut down my auction but told me I had to hide all sales on auctiva so only ebay could be seen or not use auctiva with my ebay sales at all.
I ended up haveing to edit all my ebay listings and changeing my profile at auctiva
I reccomend you put a link to your personel web site and a link to ebay and yahoo from there.

Here's the cloudy rule I found in Yahoo Guidelines:
"In your listings, you may not link to or include advertisements for goods or other matter that describe items that you are not selling in Yahoo! Auctions."
Badly worded IMO, I interpreted it as 'you may not link to advertisements for goods that you are not selling in Yahoo! Auctions.' Which means 'to your ads on another site' to me. I can see how others might interpret it differently, I don't know what else to tell you.
