Question about Etsy site in signature

Lvbabydoll · Oct 5th, 2008, 10:41 PM

Hi guys- I know you (Vlad & Megs) have been really busy lately but I just had a quick question.
I started an Etsy site with some of my handmade stuff on it and was wondering if I needed the OK from an administrator before I posted it in my signature. All I see in the rules are that you need a certain length of membership and a certain number of posts (which I've totally surpassed lol). I asked Addy and she suggested I post a thread here on it. Any help would be great since I want to do things the right way!

Thanks!

Small bump, anyone know?

Hmm, I guess I don't, then. I'll try it since I've met the requirements.

I'm not an Admin but I'll take a shot! LOL!
I'd guess no. We don't allow bonanzle or eBay links. . . .

Vld and Megs have been super busy adding and setting up new Mods, they'll get here.

Lol thanks! Etsy is the site where people sell handmade items. I've seen a few people here with their respective Etsy sites listed in their signatures selling various things they've made (earrings, jewelry, etc).
This was all I could find in the rules:
Store/business promotions in form of signature or profile links are only permitted for well established members with 500+ posts and 3+ months of membership.

and

Linking your own auctions is not permitted, in posts, signatures or otherwise. This includes eBay, eCrater, iOffer and other auction-type sites.

But it's not an auction site sooo...I dunno lol. I don't want to break any rules and I'll remove my link if it ends up not being allowed, but I'm confused by this one.

it's unique

I think it's fine - since it's not an auction site and we allow other members to advertise their web stores in their signatures.
