Linking to Photos of Your Items

Sellers may include links to photos of the item for sale. The photo pages may also contain discrete links to other pages that offer items for sale outside of eBay, but may not contain descriptions of or links to specific items on other sites.

Linking to Picture Galleries
Sellers may also link to a page where information relating to eBay items is grouped in a picture gallery or similar format as long as the page otherwise complies with eBay's links policies. This gallery page may also contain discrete links to other pages that offer items for sale outside of eBay, but may not contain descriptions of or links to individual items on other sites.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Loss of eBay fees

  • Limits placed on account privileges

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

  • Account suspension

Some Examples
  • A link to a gallery of a seller’s other items is permitted.

Why does eBay have this policy?

This policy allows sellers to provide a potential buyer with more photos about the item for sale and also allows a seller to merchandise other listings in the seller’s gallery. It also ensures the buyer is not encouraged to complete the transaction outside of eBay which circumvents eBay fees and may be unsafe.
