The page you linked to says:
"The eBay About Me page may be used to describe the seller's business, and
may contain URLs or links to the seller's individual web site. It may not
specifically promote off eBay sales or sales of items prohibited on eBay,
nor may it contain links to commercial web sites where goods from multiple
sellers are aggregated by a common search engine."
Which I agree ought to mean that we can link to a sale site, in practice I
was forced by eBay to remove my links to Lions Gate Models site from my
AboutMe page. This is (part of) what they wrote to me:
"The following text is not permitted on the About Me page as it is
offering items outside of eBay for direct sale:
"I also sell Lego parts, both as auctions here on eBay(see my auction
list below!) and on my GoB - Lions Gate Models Lego parts store, where
you'll find thousands of Lego pieces and hundreds of instruction books
available for immediate sale." "
ALso...
"Please note that our policies that apply to auction pages also apply to
our About Me pages, with exception of advertisements. eBay will permit
members to advertise their businesses in describing who they are and
what they do on their About Me page. However, please remember that it is
not acceptable to solicit direct sales in promoting that business. "
I asked how I was supposed to describe my business without saying that I
sell things, and they didn't answer that.
