[clug] ebay

[Mike J]

Kim,

I have used ebay many times. I've sold and bought. I am running Fedora Core 
4 with firefox 1.0.8.

The only problem i have is links to ebay via hotmail (web interface) it 
always says invalid item. I too emailed ebay and received a similar 
response.

Not sure if this helps.
