Problem with eBay listings has a policy violation

[electronicsales806]

I had a website some years ago that was a tutorial for people who wanted to learn how to write code using the C programming language. I also designed a printed circuit board that people could use to aid them in learning. I have been selling the boards on eBay. I received many compliments about the site and added them to the description for the board I have left. I received a policy violation notice for the error. I removed the text from the description. Does anyone here know if it would be acceptable if I scanned the text and added it as an image?

I don't think eBay would allow it even as images. If they detect it, they will strike you again.

I think you can include the site address on a piece of paper and include it in the package.

If your listing was removed for a policy violation, circumventing the restriction as an image is a great way to find yourself suspended as an ebay member.

Don't try to bend the rules, it could cost you your account.

No, you can't put the URL in a picture, as others have said.

Here's the policy. You can't have any links that lead off eBay, even if the link is not clickable.
