I numbered your questions to make them easier to respond to: 1 No 2 No policy, so yes for now 3 No policy, so yes for now 4 Yes 5 the answers are the same for personal websites as they are for other markets 6 & 7 These don't affect the answers above 8 No I'll add that instructing customers who contact you on SR to buy elsewhere is also prohibited. The forums are about discussion and openness, so so far I've done everything I can to limit censorship here and honestly I don't want to bother policing it. Silk Road hosts a vendor's storefront and for that service we take a small cut of each trade. To use your storefront here to collect customers and take them elsewhere isn't just breaking your contract, it's shady and underhanded. I do take offense when people use the infrastructure I've created and maintain and made open to just about everyone and use it to direct people elsewhere. So, I'm not going to try to stop you from linking elsewhere on the forum, but it's not respectful in the least, and I think it should be frowned upon by others as well.
