Hello all, great forum, nice to meet you all. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I looking for help regarding putting a link on my website. I am looking to sell something on Ebay, and would like a sample of my work via a link on Ebay back to my web site, but are unsure how to do this, as it would be a media link like a sound file that would appear. I do not have any link on my own site at the moment for this sample of my work, but was wondering if anyone could help, in telling me how I go about putting this on my website, or anywhere else a downloadable link would work via ebay. Hope that all made sense.

Thanks in advance

Russell

Hi russfall,
Firstly welcome to CompuForums, I hope that you can stick around and post here rather than vanish, never to return once we've given you our advice.

Firstly, can you let us know what the file extension of the content you are linking to is?
Also - do you want to make a link so a potential buyer can click and download it, or play it inside the eBay listing page?

Hello, and many thanks for getting back to me. I have put CompuForums in my favourites..so wont go nowhere!!. Forgive me for not explaining in full as I am not too pc literate, you mention the file extension, I will be needing a link that will open a media player, that has my samples on it. I notice from other sellers etc, that their links always go back to their website, to which open a media player/download. My website does not have this, as are unsure how it all works, but as you say a buyer would click/download it onto their pc Does that explain it properly?

Sorry in advance

Russell

It's very easy to set this up - do you know HTML at all?
Also - do you have your samples on your computer yet?
The file extention is the bit after the file's name - .wma, .mp3 and .wav are all examples. Which one do/will the samples have?

Hi Ash, thanks for the e-mail warning. I know nothing about HTML, as my website was built via Build a web site for free with CabanovaXL - The best online flash web tool available! ( a free web builder ), then bought a .co.uk address for it. I should of mentioned that I run an internet radio station realhitradio » HOMEPAGE , just to let you know!!. The file ext is MP3 , and are currently on my pcs documents.

Hope that helps

Thanks

russ

It would be best if you could upload the MP3 samples you want to feature in your auctions to:
FileFreak.com - Free File Host - Free MP3 Host - Free Image Host

Then, give us the URLs to where the MP3s are stored, and we'll write you some code to put into your auctions

Hope its ok...let me know if it works...

Cheers

The code you'll want is:
[you may edit the text if you wish].

When adding or editing your eBay auction, when you get to the part of your document where you want to add the link, simply click the "HTML" tab at the top of the text box and paste in the code above.
Then, click the Standard tab to switch it back to "Normal" view to continue editing.

Let us know how it goes, and if you need anything else.

Hello Ash, many thanks for doing that for me...it all works nice and easy now...brilliant!!, many thanks again. Would it be ok to contact you soon, because I am having problems with transferring my website builder pages onto my .co.uk address, I think its called FTP, but are a little unsure.

Again many thanks

Russell
