That we cannot link to our web-site stores. I find where it explains that one cannot link to a site that sells an auction item for the same or at a lower price. Is there more to this ruling. I would like to link to my on-line store but several local users tell me this is illegal. Thanks for your help!

This is the closest rule that I could find on the situation.
Does this policy allow me to link to my own web site?
Yes, you are allowed to have a link to your web site. Please remember: the intent of allowing links to a web site from your Item page has always been to enable you to provide additional information to help you sell that item. The link should not advertise other items or the fact that you may have other items for sale on your web page. The links to your own web site must comply with the guidelines outlined in the Advertisements policy. Additionally, please follow the linking guidelines, which do not permit:
links to other auction-style trading sites
links to sites offering the same merchandise for the same or lower price
links to sites offering merchandise prohibited on eBay
Example of a permissible link to your web site:
Please visit us at www.mywebsite.com
It looks like you can link to your own website as long as you don't say, "Click here to see other items that I have for sale."
I found that but I thought there was another place where it said you can post a link to your website with some wording like "Please visit my website" but now I can't find it anymore.
Edited to say that it looks like bkmunroe found what I was looking for.
