I placed a book for a 7 day auction on Ebay at the top of the description area I placed Auction by followed by a nonlinked banner for my store. within the description I reminded the buyer to checkout my About me where I have place a linkable banner. I might get a slap on the hand for this but I thought I might try this and see what happens.
Want to check it out here is the link:

Bob I tried something like that in my listings as well.  Is it possible for you to make your check out my about me page a clickable link?  I can't remember if that is one of the prelisting links we can add.  If I figure it out before you I'll let you know.

Craigslist is a great place to put your store link

Hey Bob!

You should be good to go on that.  Everything you did is completely eBay legal.   

Like Marci suggested, I would make the banner and/or the text to your About Me page. 
Here are the codes for each:


Code:
Clickable Banner:

<a href="http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=robertjohnston">
<img src="http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n227/robertjohnston1/DadsBooks.jpg"></a>


Clickable Text:


<a href="http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=robertjohnston">Visit my About Me page!</a>

You can change the text to anything you want.
