So, I called ebay to try and find out what is and is not permitted. I spoke to three different people, none of whom was exactly sure. The last person said that I should not bother changing my listings. He said ebay is going to update the policy in October and that self-hosted pictures, clickable zoom, and mp3 links will be permitted. If I understood him correctly, (which is not always easy) ebay is getting a lot of complaints from sellers. I pointed out that I use those links to help sell my stuff, and that the new rules will hurt my sales, and when sellers lose sales ebay loses fees, which makes the new policies stupid. He said he understood. (They’re trained to respond to everything we say with “I understand…”) I’ll believe it when I see it. Anyway, for now I’m not going to do anything.
Ebay sent me this tool –
