Put
a html link to a website or image in your Ebay auction listing
Previously I have written an article that explained where to put
links to your Website on Ebay. It also included a few tactics to try and get
the visitors to actually click on the link. However this article and video is
different because it will show you how to actually write the html for the link
in your Ebay auction.
Now obviously in order to post a link into an Ebay auction you will need to
be registered as an Ebay seller. Here's a handy page - Learn how to sell on Ebay
Of course I will presume that if you are reading this article then you are
already an Ebay seller.
How to put a html link to a website into your Ebay auction listing?
The first thing we need to do is list an item for sale.
Sign into your Ebay account.
Go to the menu at the top right corner.
Hover over the word Sell, then choose start
selling now.
Go through the process of setting your categories and
title.
When you get the the section where it says Describe the item you're
selling, stop there. See the screenshot below.
See how there is a Standard tab and a HTML tab.
To add a link into this Ebay auction listing we will need to go to the HTML tab.
The Blue cross is where you enter the text for the link.
See below I have inserted a link to this
website, in the HTML section. When I press the Standard Tab it will
show me what my link looks like. Also See

If you want to insert an image or extra picture into your Ebay auction
listing in the description section you can follow the steps above. However when
it comes to writing the HTML link it will be different from just a normal link.
