Again, that's for linking from your auctions, not from your About Me
page, which has different rules, as outlined further down on the page
you linked to:

"Links from your About Me Page


You may link to your own Web store or Web site. However, you may not
directly offer any non-eBay merchandise on the About Me page itself.

eBay does not permit its users to place the following types of links on
your About Me pages:

* Links that directly offer any non-eBay listing or merchandise on
the About Me page itself.
* Links to other online trading sites or pages, including auctions
and fixed-price formats. Learn more
* Links to sites offering the same merchandise for the same or
lower price (including the Buy It Now price).
* Links to sites offering merchandise or information not permitted
on eBay

On your About Me page, you may link to your own Web site or individual
Internet store where you are offering to trade, sell or purchase your
goods or services. However, you may not link to any page within online
trading sites that offer goods from multiple sellers either in a fixed
price or auction format.

About Me pages that do not meet this policy may be removed."

My About Me page is fairly new, and at the time I put it up it did say
quite clearly in the rules that I am allowed to link to my website from
my About Me page. Quite honestly, I wouldn't bother having one if I
couldn't.

yes - the rules say you CAN LINK TO your own webpage -- but ONLY IF you do not
sell goods that are the same or simliar to those you sell on ebay...
ie. == you could have a webpage that was "show and tell" about how you make the
beads, and a "gallery" of past items

but read the language again - it forbids linking to a website where
" Linking to Web sites that offer to trade, sell, or purchase goods or
services, or including links for any purpose other than those listed above is
not allowed. Prohibited links include, but are not limited to:

Links to Web pages that offer to trade, sell or purchase goods or services
outside of eBay. This applies whether it is a static URL or an active link


don't believe me?? Read the ebay page yourself...

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-links.html

link policies apply to both the LISTING and your ABOUT ME PAGE
