golfinaddict,

The links in the interest area are tags and will link to a search results page (within My World) of all eBay members that have indicated they have an interest in that same tag.

So, you could expect that you might receive queries from others that share your interests.

Hi, golfingaddict (#26) --

We've heard a number of requests for increased color and theme control, and we're definitely looking into it as a product feature. We'd love to see My World pages be as individual as our members are.

Thanks,
Stephen C.

Currently there is no area to post links directly onto My World. Each section within My World though has its own linking policy, such as Blogs, Reviews & Guides, Listings, etc.

For instance, on Blogs, you are able to link off of eBay. Same with the About Me pages. Please consult the policies within each section. Thanks!

Hi Lisenoel,

My World and About Me are two aspects of your totaly activity on eBay. While about me pretty much is a page that you can customize and modify to your hearts content, My World brings together all the cool features (Blogs, Reviews, Guides) we've added to eBay over the last couple of months to one convenient location. In addition if you're a seller, My World will enables you to bring your auctions and store listings on to a single page.
:)

Hi, golfingaddict (#34) --

Yes, eBay My World pages are already showing up in internet search engines. It will take some time for all of the search engines to get to all of the My World pages, but I did notice that yours is already indexed: :)

Thanks,
Stephen C.

Thanks for answering all of my questions. I really like the new My World pages and I've been tweaking my page ever since it first rolled. I hope that my page will help buyers know more about me and idealy I want it to help increase my sales.

I was thinking that in addition to tags, an advantage may be that you have one more way to appear in natural search results.

It seems that all this could be integrated into About Me, so I'm just curious about this. Quite willing to take advantage of it!

Want It Now is not there. But you can use 'Things I buy' category in the BIO module. Any data entered in this category will be turned into tags.

So I can use the empty categories for subjects, like how to attend an auction and walk away with treasures or a category could be used for telling my customers about my lecture series on the history of hankies? I just want to make sure thisis correct. honiilove
