How to make a link from your ebay item on your selling page to another item


To create a link in your item description, you'll have to edit the HTML code for your listing directly if you're using the standard or advanced selling form or  Follow these steps to create a link:
  1. As you enter your item description text, enter the text "***CREATE LINK HERE***" to help you to find the place where you want to insert your link once you switch to HTML view.
     
  2. Click the "HTML" tab over your item description to switch to the HTML view editor.
     
  3. In the sea of HTML code that you see, find the "***CREATE LINK HERE***" text that you entered earlier.
     
  4. Replace it with the following:

    <a href="ADDRESS">LINK TEXT</a>

    In place of "ADDRESS," enter the complete link, without leading or trailing spaces, beginning with "http://" and enclosing the entire link in double quotes. In place of "LINK TEXT," enter the text that you want users to have to click on to visit that link. For example:

    <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk">Click to visit eBay!</a>

    looks like this in the actual listing:

    Click to visit eBay!
     
  5. After entering your link, click once again on the "Standard" tab at the top of your item description to return to the normal editing view, where you should see your link.
The same basic format for creating HTML links seen in step (4) above can be used from the HTML editing views of eBay Stores pages or from the HTML editing views of any software designed to help you to list on eBay or create eBay item descriptions.
