eBay will no longer allow sellers to link to Web sites in the View Item pages. Beginning May 31, 2001, eBay will:

1. Clarify and consistently enforce the View Item page links policy;
2. Permit only links to eBay or Half.com listings and links to third party credits from the View Item page;
3. Modify the policy and allow users to link off their About Me page to their homepage or storefront.

The policy is a bit confusing, since members may link to their own storefront or Web site on the About Me page, but may not link to any non-eBay listing or merchandise on the About Me page. The changes apply to all items listed on eBay, including international sites, eBay Motors and eBay Premier. http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-list.html
