Your About Me eBay PageThis is the appropriate place to tell everyone all about you and what you have going online. You can use the About Me page to talk about and link to your own website or any other website on which you want visitors to land. You can only do this on the About Me page. Talk about your business websites. Now you can add a link to your About Me page within your ads. Be sure to do that to lead people to this page where they will then be able to link over to your websites.

Linking Your Online Auction Ad to Your Website or OthersAgain, your About Me page is the only place other than flyers or emails where you are allowed by eBay to place your link to your website or to other websites. You may use emails for this, but do not use the eBay “Contact Member” link for solicitations. It is in the eBay rules. Be sure to read them and understand them.
