Will this information in a coin auction description violate ebay rules?

Will providing the following kind of information in a auction description violate ebay rules?

A statement that the coin is graded by DGS. Pictures of the coin in its DGS slab and a statement that DGS is associated with David Lawrence Coins along with links to the DGS site.

Thanks!

I think it is alright as long as you don't mention grade-just show big photo so everyone can see grade




...this coin has been certified and encapsulated by DGS - a newer grading service in association with DLRC...

I am not sure on links in listing - I thought links were forbidden at one time, not sure now

Use an adjectival grade in the title. Mention the DGS slab in the subtitle. Say anything you want in the description.

All is good in the description, only approved TPG's in title.

Outside links are still a violation.

as far as I can see, it is what it is and if eBay can't handle that, they're violating laws of reasonable thinking.

I got nailed once for mentioning PCI in a description. Photos of the slab are OK. You can give your own opinion of grade in the description -- just say it was slabbed by a "lower tier TPG" and give your own opinion of the grade (if you have one).

If somebody reports it - and there are plenty of slimey button pushers crawling eBay because they have nothing better to do with their useless, wasted lives - the T&S drones will nuke the auction.

This is how I phrase it:

This coin is housed in a holder from one of the "cannot be mentioned on eBay" grading companies and labeled <insert grade>
