Changes to eBay in the last few years mean all their item links look like

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE-PORNOPOODLE-TOILET-ROLL-COVER-VINTAGE-KNITTED_W0...

which screw up the forum (I am doing it as a demonstration). I have been editing posts to stop this, but it's easy to do it yourself:

[url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/blah...]eBay link[/url]

I may modify the board to handle these links better but it's still better to avoid them.

Also note that eBay auction links become unavailable after a few months. If you are linking to an auction to show the picture, you should make a copy and attach the picture to your post.
