| Why does eBay have this policy? | |
Links may allow members to provide more detailed information about their review or 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. Reviews and guides with inappropriate links undermine the trust and legitimacy of eBay's
marketplace.
