according to that rule no one can put any info in their listing that may divert them to a third party website, so i cant put say a specification link if i was advertising a laptop for sale or some kind of technical equipment, i would have to break copyright laws and cut and paste the info to my auction listing. mmmm seems kinda wrong.
i understand not link to site that offers another way to buy, but offering a site that promotes ebid and providing links for other ebid store holders to promote thier ebid sales seem to be one listing that ebid should be working hard to keep.
maybe they could better spend thier time at ebid support trying to pull all the auctions selling fakes, copies and plainly scams that get reported everyday.
