Product Comparison links to external sites

[lesbubstuff]

Do not wish to intentionally promote other commercial sites on Ebid, so I thought I would check first with admin. Can I 'compare' my listing/s with another seller of the same product/s by using an external link? I want to give the potential customer an idea what others are charging for the same product as a real-time comparison. Can someone please advise what Ebid policy is regarding external links?

We do not allow the posting of contact details in the auction. By this we mean telephone numbers, email addresses or links/details pertaining to a third party ecommerce site.

In simple terms you cannot link directly to any e-commerce site

Understood! Thanks for responding. - Les

You could put something like:

"The same item is available on eBay for £xxx"

That would not be an external link and a potential buyer could easily find the listing on eBay (or wherever) for themselves.
