    I'm guessing it probably isn't allowed. But what you might be allowed to do is to put your eBay username in your sig or profile then people can search you through eBay and find your stuff there. That way your not directly advertising.

    Provided it is tech-based, usually stuff that you're selling, the mods probably won't give permission for that stuff, as opposed to XS and TeamModders links.

    Well the mod's obviously dont seem to care. Or they would have responded by now. I will give it some time and if I dont hear nothing will give it a whirl.

    It's not liking im installing a pop up in my sig and threatning to installa a virus if you dont visit...lol. Besides what IM selling is mostly computer related. Usb Cables...etc!

    That is quite untrue.

    The mods are [bold]very busy[/bold] people chasing up all the forum offenders. You PM'd them in the same day, you will have to give it some time. Patience is a virtue.

    It can be rather annoying to have a signature ridden with links, especially non-related links. Again, it is upto the mods, just speaking from opinion here.

    nope, no links to ebay in the sigs. links are fine as long as they are not to illegal stuff or a specific site that sells things like a mod chip site. now if it's to a tutorial, no problem as long as it's something that is legal.

    well, the way i see it as long as you spread the knowledge here then i dont see where there's a problem having your shop's site in your sig.

    just keep it that size so flip doesn't see it. had 1 member complain about what was thought to be advertising in auslander's sig which it wasn't but did cause problems for a little while.
