Theres also a Ebay application on facebook that allows you to link your ebay auctions too your profile so your friends can see what you are selling and go to your ebay store. I dont know if i like the word "link" and "ebay" in the same sentence.

Sounds like a a trap ebay's cooking up to find more suspended users
