Why does eBay have this policy?
Links may allow members to provide more detailed information about their guide. This policy ensures that members do not link inappropriately, thereby creating a disadvantage to other members of the eBay community who link appropriately or who are listing via the eBay marketplace. Guides with inappropriate links undermine the trust and legitimacy of eBay’s marketplace.
