EBay Updates Policies
By Ina Steiner
AuctionBytes.com
EBay modified several policies to include language that covered both auction-style and fixed-price formats. All of the existing policies will apply to both formats. EBay also elaborated on some of their listing policies, including:
Sign Post Listings: a listing which does not offer anything for sale, but directs members to the seller's other listings. Sign Post Listings are prohibited
Profanity within a listing: will be allowed only when the actual item title contains profane words. There are specific guidelines to this exception, however.
