Hi DG,

 

I wondered about this point recently in another thread (which I can't find now). ie putting links to our other two stores in the auction listings of a third non-store ID.

 

I read a bit on links policy and found this (see below).

 

Seems to say in here that you can put links to other ebay stores as long as you have the permission of the account holder.

For our own stores we would of course have our own permission.

 

Links Policy

That policy specifically states it's ok to have the link on a store page, but fails to mention one way or another if it's ok in a listing, but I think the first part on the help page restricts pretty much all links from listings themselves that don't provide additional details about the item itself:

"In general, when listing items on eBay, you can include links that are solely intended to provide additional details about the items. That means links should only be used when that information can't be included in the listing itself. These links include additional images, technical specifications, manufacturer warranties and other information that can help buyers make an informed purchasing decision. Other links that point to a third-party provider's website are also allowed, such as image hosting sites and auction template sites."

So, I think I would still keep it out of a listing - if eBay ever decided to issue a policy violation for it, no amount of sense or reason re: their own policies and what they don't say seems to be listened to, unfortunately. 😞
