Ebay has now taken it upon itself to begin redirecting all item page links to cross selling pages like:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261383749007?lpid=82

so instead of the item, it shows you items LIKE the item you want

Very annoying

and for ended items, it shows a completely different item

Yes, super-annoying recent "feature"!
How is it possible now to post links for ended lots?

I guess Ebay its f***** up real bad now... (sorry for the F word) ...

I bought a lot of cpus from Ebay.com with free delivery within USA... i entered John's address, there were an error asking me a phone number... I got the number, entered it , then gave me an error something that seller didnt specified the cost to USA... i contacted the seller , he said there shouldnt be any problem... now i wanted to pay again, no error, but dont know why it's asking me 6.25 USD for shipping.... If i go to auction page and check the shipping cost to AVICC its FREE...

i guess i'll use only Ebay.co.uk from now Sad

I did wonder why I was looking at some random auction before I read the 'this item has ended, here's a similar item' at the top of the page.
