Little Plea To All Posters Re: eBay

Hi,

Just a quickie regarding posts asking for help or guidance with eBay.

I hope this is ok mods??

When you need help with eBay which requires us to look at the auction, Instead of posting the item number can you copy and paste the address bar?

Its a lot easier (and quicker ;)) for us to just be able to click on a link instead of copying the item number, opening a new window going to eBay and then pasting the item number into the search bar.

I can guarentee that you will get a quicker response.

Thanks :beer:

    Or better still use the insert link button and do it like this:-

    8419199107

    Random auction chosen here. That keeps things more manageable.

    To use the insert link button:-

    Type word that you want to use for example look HERE.

    Copy the url

    Highlight the word HERE

    Press Insert link button (small globe; below the smiley face) paste url.

    Click OK

    And thats it done.

    Hope that is of some help to folk!

    Just posting the item number is fine by me. I understand that not everybody knows how to insert links into posts and it's no problem to copy and paste the item number into eBay's search box.
    Use a tabbed browser like Firefox or IE7 and it's easier still.
    Can I help?
