Adding links to PDF files and Zip files in the Listings

[smart_hardware]

I sell boards at eBay.com. In every listing I have two links to the documentation (User Guide/ PDF) and software (Zip) for these boards. With the new requirements from 2017, when I turn off active content, these links do not work. These are simple HTML links (not JavaScript) /<a href="http://www.xxx.xx/xxx.pdf">/. How can actually I do this in the future?

The active content ban won't affect listings until June 7, 2017.

There are two listing features that are blocked that eBay wants to allow (links and YouTube videos), and there is nothing we can change at the moment until eBay comes up with a workaround.  So just continue using the old methods for Links and YouTube until we hear from eBay.

If they don't have a solution by June, they'll probably delay the ban.
