are LIVE eBay links allowed now
Nope, still not allowed:
6. To prevent abusive advertisement, no member shall direct other members, either through direct hotlink or indirectly through comments or other means, to any live e-Bay auctions or other auction sites.
Though Buy it Now sales have always been allowed, correct?
yes, but it has an AUCTION ahead of it. The BIN gets disabled after a bid or when it reaches a certain price.
BIN listings are 100% fine, LIVE Auctions are not.
so this sale from the seller is OK as it's a straight BIN.

Good point, thanks Bruce.
Sorry guys! I removed the link...didn't realize they were not allowed. I guess I should have read the rules better.
6. To prevent abusive advertisement, no member shall direct other members, either through direct hotlink or indirectly through comments or other means, to any live e-Bay auctions or other auction sites.
Do not post URLs, item numbers, or seller IDs or any similar information unless that e-Bay sale is strictly a "buy it now" sale with no option available to place a bid, or is contained within an e-Bay storefront.
Members should also use good judgment in posting information that may reference specific active auctions, particularly if the extra attention drawn to it would be unwanted by other members who may be bidding.
Please feel free to discuss eBay auctions only after they are closed.
