<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3133012, member: 56859&quot;]In a recent CT thread this new eBay problem was discussed.&nbsp; When following eBay links to sold coins, some of us see the finished listing and some of us instead see something different-- eBay trying to direct us to a &quot;similar&quot; item that is still available.&nbsp; Adding to the confusion, the substituted item selected by eBay&#039;s algorithm may be different for different users, which seems to be the case here.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, here&#039;s what I see when I click the link in the first post (partial screen shot).&nbsp; Clicking the word &quot;listing: near the top of that page (in the sentence with blue background) did take me to the coin Obone purchased.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799424[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many good reasons to upload images instead of links.&nbsp; In the case of eBay there are at least two:&nbsp; the link might not show the intended coin and the link will eventually die.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder how many dead image links I have in CoinTalk?&nbsp; At some point a few years ago my web host made a major change in how pages are named and images handled.&nbsp; It caused many of my posted images to become broken links.</p><p><br /></p><p>I now usually upload images or, if previously uploaded to CT, post the CT link.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another reminder for new members:&nbsp; it is best to show the image at full size within your post rather than thumbnails.&nbsp; Many people won&#039;t bother to click the thumbnails because it disrupts their browsing flow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
