How to link an item to another item

I would like to link a necklace to earrings in my description as I am selling them separately. Is that not an option? Oh and hi :)

Yes, you can do this.

You can either create a link just by using the listing’s URL so that the URL will remain clickable.

Or you can type the word earrings and make it clickable by applying the URL for that listing.

*Here’s how you do the first one but first know that where you type in your description is called the Listing Editor here on [URL removed]

Copy the URL that you are wanting to use and use your mouse to click in your listing where you are wanting the link to be at.

Now look at the top of your Listing Editor where all the little icons are such as what you use to change your font. Look for a circular icon that has green in it and black at the bottom of it. Click on it. Once clicked on, at the top it will say Link Info, Target, and Advanced.

Click on target. Use the dropdown and click on New Window (_blank). By doing this step, this will keep both your necklace listing open and your earring listing open at the same time for the buyer to view.

Now click on Link Info. In the blank box that says URL above it, paste your URL into this box and click the green tab that says okay. And there you go. Once you save your listing you will now be able to click on that link to go to your earring listing.


You can also just highlight the word Earring in your listing and go to the same round icon. Follow the same steps as above. Once you save your listing you will now be able to click on that link to go to your earring listing.

You can also do the same if you are wanting an image to be clickable to a listing. Just highlight the image using your mouse and follow the above steps.
