Section B.4. Adding Links
eBay doesn't let you put links to outside commercial Web pages in your auctions, but you can link to an off-eBay page that gives more details about your itemsspecs, extra photos, and so onas long as that page is for information only and doesn't sell anything. You can also link to other Web sites from your About Me page (Section 6.6).
To add a link, use the <a href=" "> tag. In between the quotation marks, you type the Web address you want to link to; then you type a right- facing angle bracket (>) and the text that the visitor clicks to go to the Web address; and then the closing tag </ a >. (Without text, visitors won't know there's a link there.) Here's an example, with the results in Figure B-4:
<p>Please visit my <a href="http://www.mygreatsite.com">Web page</a> to see pictures of my dog!
