That’s correct, eBay doesn’t allow javascript so you will need the html version of the opt in code. Does yoursqueezepage have this option as well? I know the autoresponders do, but I’ve never used yoursqueezepage so I’m not sure if they have a html version of the optin or not.

Please Im using http://www.yoursqueezepage.com to to generate my advert with an opt in box for my ebay ad. Now as I was setting the ad up and added the html source , the preview of the advert was fine but then later i got this message….

Your listing cannot contain javascript (“.cookie”, “cookie(“, “replace(“, IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href.

Please can you help me? I got your AuctionClassifiedCash ebook and im so eager to start.

Regards,

Raj

However as soon as they are on your list, then you can send them wherever you like.

I just finished reading Auction Classified Cash and I found it very helpful. I hope I will be successful. I find I reach a crossroads no matter what avenue I try to be successful online. Even down to copywriting skills! I will try my best and see.

eBay doesn’t always make things clear do they. This linking policy that you’ve quoted refers to creating a link out to a page that then has your mailing list on it however it doesn’t actually refer to having your mailing list IN your ad.

Therefore this is their policy on links inside your auctions/ads: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-links-email.html

It basically states that you can include a mailing list as long as the person isn’t directed straight to a salespage after they enter their details. (You can however direct them to wherever you like from the emails you send them).

Hope that clears things up.

Not allowed

You may not include:

Links to websites or pages that offer to trade, sell, or purchase goods or services outside of eBay.

Links to websites or pages that solicit eBay user IDs, passwords, or email addresses from members.

Links to websites or pages that encourage buyers to place their bids through a site other than eBay. For example, you can’t mention “auction sniping” websites, because you have to use your eBay user ID and password. You can mention UnWired Buyer, which is a member of eBay’s Developer and Affiliate programs, because their service doesn’t violate this policy.

Links or other connections to live chat systems. The only live chat option you can include in your listing is the Skype option in the Sell Your Item form. You may include your chat user names in an item description, but not a link to chat. You may include a live chat link in your About Me page or Custom Stores pages, but not in your Store home page.

Links to videos hosted on other websites. The video services outlined above take strong measures to provide safe content.You may not post your own videos unless they are hosted at one of these sites.

Links to subscribe to non-eBay newsletters or mailing lists.

Links to websites or pages that host material deemed to be inappropriate for general audiences.

I have 3 classified ads live just now, all with opt-in forms and have had no problems with them, so as far as I can see, opt in forms seem to be ok.
