Linked Accounts in listing description

[michael_cullis]

I have recently openened a second eBay account. On my original account I am a top seller with 40 free listings a month whereas on the new account I am limited to ten listings. Can I get eBay to recognize my Top Seller status on the new account?

I mistakenly gave the wrong subject for this query. Whilst I would like an answer to the above, I would also like to know if I can link my old and new accounts so that the descriptions for items listed in each account will allow a buyer to click on a link to take them to listings in my other account. I have already added a link asking people to check out my other items

We have had cross linking between our two ebay basic stores for some time now.

They are clickable links and will jump the buyer right to the other store home page if they click on them.

The links are embedded in the description field text, but as we all know, buyers rarely read decsriptions anyway so its very likely they would never be seen.

Whilst we have no evidence whatsoever that this makes any difference to sales we have had no issues from ebay about doing so.

They don't seem to mind so long as the links are not off ebay to your private website.

how do you create your clickable link to your other account please?

You need to embed a line of HTML code into your description field where you want the link to appear.

Here is the line of code we use.

<a href ="http://stores.ebay.com.au/A-B-C-Didi-Accessories">Visit My eBay Store: ABC Didi Accessories</a>

Now you will need to edit the text above to suit your store you are linking to.

Change the RED bit to your store URL.

Change the PURPLE bit to your own store Title.

You can enclose the above line between font tags so it changes how it looks. By font style, colour size etc. eg

<font size="20" color="red"> ..... </font>

You can also use justification tags so it appears left, centre or roght as you prefer. eg

<center> .... </center>

<left> .... </left>

All this stuff you can study out on Google.

Or if you are lazy like me you use a template builder like www.robshelp.com which makes it easy to add links to another id or other items and much more.
