Am I allowed to advertise my social media on my listings?
 

I have noticed that my eBay listings get a lot of views. I want to grow my Instagram by putting "Follow Us On Instagram: [Instgram Username]" on the bottom of the listing's description.

Would that be allowed or would eBay think I'm trying to sell outside their platform and suspend me?

I don't see why not but are you linking a stealth account to your real instagram account?

Not sure about Instagram, but I see many ppl advertise their own websites in listings. Not sure if this is allowed, but they do it on large scale without issues. I suppose large sellers are allowed to do that. For example, fragment of listing of a big car parts seller:

CONTACT:
All kinds of contact info, website and so. So I suppose if you place Instagram in your listing, and you are a big seller - there will be no issues.

Not sure what you mean but I'm not linking it to my personal Instagram I'm linking it to my Instagram that corresponds to my eBay profile.

The Instagram I want to link has never been linked on eBay before.

If you can buy on the link, it is forbidden. If you can not buy directly from it, it is a go.

Yeah my Instagram has no links to my website or anything that can make anyone buy (except the PM feature). All I post on there is content related to my selling niche.

You could call customer service and ask if it is allowed or not
