I received an email from eBay today, I do promote eBay products from time to time. They sent out to all their affiliates new guidelines the FTC require.

Just having a disclosure statement is not enough anymore posted on each page and post you have affiliate links, you must add words like sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” next to each affiliate link.

On social media, you must add a hashtag such as #ad or #sponsored behind your affiliate links.
