Advertising your site

[Ravenfire]

Are you allowed to advertise your website when you sell something on EBAY?

[baybees]

not if you are selling items on the website you are advertising, the reason being is you will be avoiding fees from ebay if you sold through your site.
BUT I have my website addy (minus the dots)as my user name and that is allowed.

So if, for example I sold my phone on EBAY and removed any reference to it on here I could add mumszone.co.uk?

[baybees]

not sure not like you sell anything on here for yourself iyswim I'll have a trawl through the regs for you and see if your safe on doing it.

[baybees]

right had a look and the new policy is that you can't add a link to your item unless it is a further description to your item or a link to your 'about me'page within ebay or a page stating your terms for trading
BUT
you can put the link into your 'about me'page as long as the link is not to a site that woud be selling something that would deemed able for ebay fees.
So what I would suggest is do a nice about me page using the logo ect and then in your item make a big thing about visiting you about me page.

Thats ok then as I have one in my about me page although it has attracted a couple of strange people to the site I think..lol
