How to place your “add to favourites” link on listings

On each of your listings, lurking at the bottom of various options in the “Meet the Seller” box is Add to my Favourite Sellers. You can find the same thing at the top of your “All About Me” page. As you can see right here, you can recreate this link wherever you wish to use it, on listings, your about me page, or even on your blog. It’s easy to do, and an effective way of making a useful link far more visible to your buyers. 

Visit your about me page, or any one of your listings and find the option where it’s displayed. Now right click on the link - whatever browser you’re using you should get a bunch of options, one of which will be “copy link address” (the wording may vary slightly). This stores the URL for adding your seller ID to anybody’s favourites in your PC clipboard.

Now go to the place you want to use the link and type in some appropriate text, such as “Add me to your favourites list”. If you’re not using the Advanced WYSIWYG at this stage you’ll want to swap to it for ease. Now highlight the text and click on the editor icon for making a link (a little globe with a chain link on it). Paste (control-V or right click to get the paste option up) the stored address into the URL target box, and press OK.

Hey presto, one favourites link!

p.s. be aware, your link knows where it originally came from and “go back” will go back to that place, so it’s better to use your “All About Me” link for longevity.
