eBay Active Content Non-compliant Link?

I have been updating the description section of my listings and added links to my store categories to help a buyer see other items I sell. I am getting a warning that states "ebay active content non-compliant link". I know you can't link to outside of ebay, but can you not even link to your own eBay listings and/or store?

eBay Active Content Non-compliant Link?

I can now answer my own question. For the benefit of anyone who runs into the same problem:

 

You must at the  target="_blank"  into any href tags that you use for links. This opens the linked page in a new seperate tab. By adding that, you will be compliant.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Yes, sorry. You add target="_blank" for example:

WITHOUT ADDED CODE
<a href="http://stores.ebay.com/_i.html?_fsub=15540957014"><img src="...</a>

WITH ADDED CODE
<a href="http://stores.ebay.com/_i.html?_fsub=15540957014" target="_blank"><img src="...</a>
