Link to eBay Store Won't Work

[AdvRider]

I just started using Adobe Express to create custom facebook postings for a friend who runs a retail business. His business also has an eBay store. There's a link to my friend's business website in the Facebook post that works just fine, but I cannot get the link to his eBay store to work. I've saved the Adobe Express file as a .png, a .jpg and a .pdf but in every case, the eBay link will not work. I'm wondering if this an eBay thing or if I'm doing something wrong. How can get past this hurdle?

You can't directly embed a hyperlink within a JPEG image file itself, but you can make a JPEG image clickable by using HTML and linking the image tag to a URL. 

Generally I just put the image on my website, and a "clickable layer" (It's actually an area) is "overlayed on that image.

Here's how: (The is filled with a bunch of code- but there is lterally no reason to do that anymore)

1. Using HTML:

• Include the image tag: Start with the standard <img> tag to display your image, specifying the source (path to the image). 

Code

    <img src="your_image.jpg" alt="Description of image">

• Wrap the image tag with an anchor tag: Enclose the <img> tag within an <a> tag (the anchor tag) to create a clickable link. 

Code

    <a href="https://www.example.com">
        <img src="your_image.jpg" alt="Description of image">
    </a>

• Replace "https://www.example.com" with your desired URL: This is the address the link will take the user to when clicked. 

Example:

Code

<a href="https://www.example.com">
    <img src="my_image.jpg" alt="My Image" width="200" height="100">
</a>

Explanation:

• The <a> tag with the href attribute defines the link destination.
• The <img> tag displays the image.
• When the user clicks on the image (or the area where the image is displayed), they will be redirected to the URL specified in the href attribute. 

In summary, you are not embedding the link inside the image file; you are creating a link that points to the image and then to the desired URL when the image is clicked. 

Below is a screenshot of my website editor, and a link to the styles button.   It's how I think most of the world does it now a days.
