Help me out here. Do you have something listed on e-bay, and you'd like to provide a link?

Not real sure on your question.
IF your selling on ebay Copy & Paste the auction # in the Online Auction Forum here. A Winning Bidder that originates from oldgas earns oldgas a stipend that helps pay the bills to keep this site FREE for all users. Mentioning oldgas.com in your auction helps to bring new members here too.

OK I get it.............I list as usual on ePay and put in OLDGAS.COM in the discription (my inclination is if I put any kind of link, .com, HTML or even something as mundane as I copy & paste a description from a Mfgs site for a product which I recently tried, it completely made the auction un-listable with ePays listing nazi's until I removed the entire description and started over w/o cut and paste). Then I Post the ePay auction on Old Gas in classifieds.
Thanks will try hope it works..........

Not in classifieds.
List the item[s] here w/ just the #[s], not a link;

IF ebay won't let you use .com try spacing it out a bit . com or oldgas dot com
[Oldgas gets 0 when a winning bidder uses a clickable link]

Thanks Dick, for the help with the explanations while I was away.

Here is a Help topic about how to help Oldgas.com while you are searching or bidding on eBay:

http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=138279

Sellers can post their auction number and/or the title of their auction on our "Online Auctions, eBay" forum. Bidders can copy one of those two, paste it into the eBay search form on the bottom of most Oldgas.com Shop Talk pages and click "Go"
We get a referral advertising credit for sending them winning bidders. That adds up to pay the expenses for this site.

Big thanks to all bidders and sellers who participate!

Works for ANY ITEM you want to Bid on on ebay. Find an item you want to own, copy the # come to oldgas & paste the # in an ebay box, IF your the winning bidder, oldgas WINS also.
IF your a Snipe Bidder, place a minimum bid at the beginning then Snipe it @ the end.
