I recently bought the eBay
Stealth Book, and am in the process of both reviving some old, valid pre-11/2007 accounts, as well as attempting to get some suspended (NARU'd) pre-11/2007 accounts reinstated.
Anyway, after reading
eBay Stealth, as well as after all my personal bad experiences, I now know how unreliable & unsecure that eBay is in terms of stability, and that one of the main keys to success is DIVERSIFICATION, not only with multiple eBay accounts, but also with your own website and various other off-eBay selling venues like other auction & sales sites (like Amazon, Etsy, iOffer, Sell.com, uBid, Ibid, etc.)
However, to get the kind of customer traffic on a website or other off-eBay venue, that is equivalent to the amount of traffic on eBay, obviously it is necessary to advertise and/or link to those website (s) through your eBay "About Me" page.
So I'm hoping that this isn't true, but I was surfing the Internet earlier today, and I came across an off-eBay site (I think it was through Auctiva) that said that along with eBay's recent feedback changes, that eBay had instituted a policy that prohibits listing or linking to off-eBay sites (like a business website)
Is that true?? Is eBay really forbidding people from linking to their own websites??
I hope not, because then people like me who have no hope of a stable and steady income through eBay, are doomed if they are forbidden from attracting and drawing customers towards their own websites.
Is it really going to be prohibited to link to off-eBay sites? If so what can people like me do??
