Allowed under the new policy are links to: - Any page on eBay or an eBay property including PayPal, Half.com and StubHub. - Photos of the item for sale, as long as the page displaying the photos does not offer, or link to, a site that offers a product or service for sale off eBay. - Embedded videos within a listing, as long as the content and format comply with all eBay policies for videos. - Third-party solutions and services directly related to the particular listing.

However, you may not directly offer any non-eBay merchandise on the About Me page itself. eBay does not permit its users to place the following types of links on your About Me pages: Links that directly offer any non-eBay listing or merchandise on the About Me page itself. Links to other online trading sites or pages, including auctions and fixed-price formats. Links to sites offering the same merchandise for the same or lower price (including the Buy It Now price).
