Per eBay policy, no.

Not allowed
- Including photos that don't accurately represent the item
- Placeholder images used to convey messages, such as no image available, or out of stock, or other marketing messages
- Stock photos for used, damaged or defective items
- Adding borders to your photos
- Using a picture that is less than 500 pixels on the longest side

As @ads*and*ends posted, the answer is no. But the primary policy that applies is eBay's Links policy, which does not allow active or static links to websites or pages that are not on eBay.
https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-policies/links-policy?id=4248
"To protect our members, with limited exceptions, we don't allow listings or products to contain links that direct customers to a site other than eBay, even if the link is not clickable...
This policy applies whether the link is clickable or not, and includes any attempts to direct a customer off a page. It extends to all member-created content, such as listings, products, Stores pages, Stores headers, seller profile pages, newsletters, and images, etc."
eBay's image text policy does not apply to images down in the description area, but eBay's links policy does apply to the description area and images found there.
