I understand that I can't place an affiliate link to a specific ebay auction on another website, as it's against the EPN Agreement.

Promoting Participating Sites and Content using any Promotional Methods other than a Link on your own website is considered a "Special Promotional Method". If your Special Promotional Method is not approved by the Program Terms, you are required to obtain ePN's or the Advertiser's express written permission in advance to use that Promotional Method in that Program.

My question is, is it acceptable to place a link that is cloaked by my BANS script on another website. (ie. http://www.mysite.com/links/ebaydescriptionitemZ42251565498). These links redirect to a specific auction and does not stop on a page on my domain. To me, it seems acceptable to "advertise" links to my domain by placing them on other domains. I am probably wrong here, but can someone help me understand so I don't make a big mistake?

I only know what I've read on the eb@y forums but I think this would be against TOS. I'm under the impression that they actually have to click a link on your site to get to eb@y.

That being said, if the referrer winds up being an actual static page on your own site, they would have to discover your original link to catch you.
