Can I Include a Link to my Partners Hipstamp Store?
Hi all. My partner is opening a Hipstamp Store selling postage stamps. I sell mainly First Day Covers. Is it allowed (and can we?) post a link to each others Hipstamp stores in our Hipstamp listings?

Thank you for your question. Check out the "Product Listing Policies" in Hip's Terms of Service: https://www.hipstamp.com/terms
You cannot include links to OUTSIDE websites where you can purchase items anywhere besides Hip eCommerce, or any personal website (including those which represent your business). Also, keep in mind that item descriptions should be relevant to the item for sale.
Is another Hipstamp store (my partners) classed as an outside website link?
Sorry for my question as I'm an "oldie" and do not know that much about eCommerce. In other words is the answer to my question NO?
Asking for permission to do something is always dicey. It is generally better to just do it. If it's wrong, someone will tell you and you can say, "oops sorry."
The problem with asking permission is that no one wants to take the responsibility to grant it. So they refer you to the policy which doesn't reslly answer your question.
Nike was right: Just Do It.
