The other options are to just put the item number EG: 110827944352 or parse the url down and cut it off at the ? behind the item number like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-AMC-AMERICAN-MOTORS-JAVELIN-AMX-CHROME-Ford-Torino-Mustang-TBird-Ambassador-/110827944352 The latter allows others to copy your search info too.

I used the Tiny URL site only in pinch when some URLs are disgustingly long. On the ebay one below for the million dollar AMC part, I just copied it directly from site and this appears: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-AMC-AMERICAN-MOTORS-JAVELIN-AMX-CHROME-Ford-Torino-Mustang-TBird-Ambassador-/110827944352?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item19cddc39a0 for instance, not the smaller one you had down below. Maybe there is trick I am missing perhaps? Note the seller dropped it down from million dollars down to $100 now. I wonder what their original listing fee might have been with that million dollar hit. Probably as much as the new Nike Galaxy shoes are selling for I should have stood in line overnight :~P Here is a set of the shoes for $26,000 someone stood in line for yikes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nike-Foamposite-Galaxy-SIZES-8-12-JORDAN-GLOW-ALL-STAR-KD-AIR-YEEZY-MAG-KOBE-/160744195892?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item256d19c734 http://tinyurl.com/7xwxf6x From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) "to eddie and whomever else it may concern: you can -always- reduce tortuous and unwieldy ebay urls to this form -- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110827944352 that's not too long, and it avoids the need for a 3rd party link which may or may not point where it's claimed to."
