eBay. Link to own webside ??

[dkcan]

Will eBay allow Store sellers to place a link to own,outside/store/webside,in eBay Store"about me" ??
Regards Peter.

Yes but it is my understanding that it can't be to a site like eCRATER or another venue like eBay.

I have a link in my ME page to my website and have for several years.

Someone will be along with the specifics.

You can link to your own non-selling web page (for example, the splash page of your web site) and you can't link to any site that has multiple sellers, like ecrater, even if it's your own ecrater store.

Thanks Stone and Fredd.
Do I understand you right Fredd.
From eBay MY.. I can place a link to a non selling web site, such as my last Holiday pic... but not link to my own selling web site ???

You can link to a non-selling page of a web site, like an index.

BF I have a link to my personal business selling website and have for years. I did ask eBay if there was a problem with this and they looked and said that it was fine.

I do not link to my eCRATER Store.

Many of the eBay Stores have link direct from eBay Store( see ME)to own outside selling web site.

As far as I know, you can link to your website, just make sure it's your "welcome" page, not a particular item and price. At least that's my understanding

I've heard people use the term "2-click rule" for the policy, if I understand it correctly. The first click (on the ME page) cannot take you to a "buy" page; the buyer has to make a second click (or more) to make a purchase.

So if the first click only goes to your welcome page or home page and not to a "buy now" page, that's supposed to be OK.

OK gang, you're just about all to what I posted at 00:37. When you think you've got it, we can move on to the next topic.
