:evil: In all of my listings I have links to my ebay store ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** and my webstore ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**.
I have just had a bunch of listings removed for these links.
I don't have alot of time to list items at this time of year and I have to take time away from being with my kids to list items.
I know that you can have a link to your ebay store and If the jackass that removed my links would have researched the link to my webstore, he would have seen that it redirects you back to ebay for checkout. Even the person I spoke with at ebay live chat told me they should not have been removed. Live chat told me to respond to the alert so I did that. (I may be suspended for that email)
I tried to call but you can't talk to a real person.

Ebay has a deal that if you bring outside traffic to ebay and make a sale, you get some sort of discount. I pay search engines to bring traffic to ebay basically and this is how they repay me. Every item on my website redirects to ebay for item description and checkout.

Sorry for any typos, I'm too pissed to type. :x

I feel your pain.

I had an eBay store and account (powerseller) shut down. They removed listings just 30 minutes before closing for the exact same reason.
I complained about it, I said that was pushing the envelop. 1 hour later I got an email from eBay that account was closed for violation of their policies. This was irrevocable.

Now, when I have an issue with eBay, I bow, I thank, I appologize etc...

That sucks for sure.
I think its against ebay policy to mention any website in the direct listing. However you can sure make big huge links to your about me page where you can have links to your website

The stupid thing is that my ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** link that goes to my ebay store is also a violation. It says in the rules that you can have a link but only the ebay.stores.com/I'm not typing all that *censored*. EBAY CAN KISS MY ASS
I'll remove my link to my web store but
I don't care if they do suspend my account I'm not removing the link to my ebay store.

Thats rediculous. I've had similar problems. Have you thought about getting ebay's listing software? It automatically lists your products, all you do is design the listing and enter in your inventory. This software has saved me hours! All I do now is print the shipping labels.

That really sucks. I dont have any external links to my Ebay store at this time. I always wondered why I should give Ebay extra money. lol . Seems like they want all the traffic but forget about their main customers ... Us the sellers.

[haus1028]

Ebay knows they are the only online auction site with the traffic to sell.

Direct_Consumer
Can you send me some more info on the listing software?

Soon that will change. They have new players quickly approaching the field of online auctions

[haus1028]

I heard Google was going to start up an auction site.
I list items on alot of other auction sites but have never made a sale on any other than ebay.

[annepastoors]

switch to another auction site, we call ebay as feebay, and the name matches.

** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**
here is one site preffered by others!

I know exactly how you all feel. I had three eBay accounts suspended at the same time. To this day, I do not know the reason why. They responded with the generic

violation of eBay policy.

BUT THERE IS HOPE - ALL THREE Were Reinstated

My first reaction was of shock, anger and bitterness toward eBay. This was an important income stream for me, by golly!

For those interested, I documented the steps I took in getting them reinstated. Here's the link of my successful steps...
