I agree it's risky. I do it because as long as I've been selling on eBay I've been trying to build a base of larger (b2b) customers who can contact me directly. I keep large amounts of stock around and it comforts me knowing I have ways to liquidate if for some reason it ever becomes impossible for me to continue on eBay. I convince most of those customers by saying it's faster and cheaper for both of us (which, it is).
You can mitigate your risk a bit by naming the image something inconspicuous like "detailed sizing chart", "embroidery options", etc. I would avoid naming your image "contactinfo.jpg".
My advice isn't really applicable unless you can somehow direct the seller to this thread, Saijin, but it works. |
