2 q's: ok to use links? local pickup cash ok?

Hello all ~ I’m totally new at selling. I have a blog with pics of my item and some others I wouldn’t mind selling. Is it ok to put a link to my blogspot page on my bonanza auction page? Does it depend on the contents of the blog? Cuz I can fix that! Tell me what’s ok and what’s not. (BTW, it is not a merchant site, just a blogger thing, but it does have pics of stuff I’d just as soon trade for some beans.)

Second [URL removed] Ebay of the Million Rules, says it’s ok to say you’ll take cash on pickup, if you can’t or won’t ship. Is it the same at bonanza?

I have learned (overnight!) that I can’t take money orders until I have 3 selling fb, but I don’t see anything on the help page about pickup-only rules.

Over to my right it says check to see if any similar questions are displayed. Sorry, I know this must have been asked before, but I don’t see anything.

As long as there is no deliberate attempt to circumvent fees, there is actually no problem with listing links on your blog to items here…as a matter of fact check the link on your My Bonanza page about referral traffic links and check the blog for this [URL removed]

If you put links in your listings to elsewhere off site, there will be a warning message to the viewer/buyer that they will be leaving this site and that bonz cannot vouch for the content..

For local pick-up..there used to be a link in the listings for this option, but that set-up seems to be no longer here and you will have to put something in your listings about local pick up availability.

There is one seller here that I know who does a brisk local business and does have listings here for people to see..you may want to message her to ask advice on how she handles it or look at the way here listings are set up…

I think you have to put local pickup only in your description. You can put links to a blog in your profile. I haven’t used the "referral to website " thing, so not sure how that works.
