The Ebay links are taking me to their site but a web address "swagbucks" comes up in between. Sometimes the link completes to the expected car in the post here sometimes it just takes me to the Ebay home page. If it does the latter, it won't link back here with the back button like it will if it brings up the expected page.

Firefox on W7 here & they are working for me as well.

From googling most reports I've seen of it in the past (back to about 2014) seems to be on chrome.

My link was copied from the eBay app and I pasted it in as a straight eBay.co.uk link on my phone. This forum is setup to mangle it to a Viglink affiliated link when it was posted, so money can be extracted from it. That service is what must be redirecting it to shit sites. eBay wouldn't redirect requests from ebay.co.uk domain to them.

You can see the redirection link here:

My original post did not have and still does not have that redirection in. It's is this forum software that is doing that and has been set up to do that.

Looks like someone didn't RTFM or read the change logs when they installed or updated this forum:

If not changed from default, those Viglink redirections are being used to fund the forum software creators. If changed from default, it's funding whoever changed it.

Yes. 99% of my access and posting on here is on my phone. If I tap a link it must redirect quick enough that I've never noticed and/or goes straight to the app.

I would though, if I wasn’t married (then again, if I bought it, I probably wouldn’t be married either...)
