Adsense on my ebay?

Am I allowed to put it on my About Me Page?

Hi

Am I allowed to put Adsense ads on my ebay About Me Page?

I know that I can put external links on it to my web site for example but I wasn't sure about Adsense.

Many thanks

Unless eBay specifically gives you the go-ahead to do this, I'd say it's against the AdSense rules. I'm not an eBay seller, but I've got a feeling that putting advertising on that page would be against THEIR rules, too.

Hi

Thanks very much for your reply.

It seems very straightforward as I don't actually own ebay (wish I did!) however ebay do allow you put external links on the page (I don't think that there is a limit either).

I think I had better get some advice from ebay to be sure.

Thanks again. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Best wishes

even though eBay allows external files, I believe ebay will strip off javascript code effectively disabling adsense. I'm not sure though. Can someone on eBay confirm?

Will the bit that I have put in bold apply to Adsense do you think?

Note the parts that I put in bold.
