If you’re looking to share something you’ve found or are selling on eBay or Amazon, creating a short link with eB.Am couldn’t be simpler – you don’t even need to visit the site!

Simply take your eBay item number, ISBN-10 or Amazon ASIN (found in the product information) and bung it on the end of the URL.

Here’s an example:
Look at the product details at:
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Nintendo/dp/B0009VXBAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1266778516&sr=8-1

Take the ASIN and add to eB.Am and hey presto, there’s your tiny url:

eB.Am/B0009VXBAQ

Now sometimes using our special algorithms we can get this to be even shorter – this can be done with no hassle of copying and pasting.
You just put http://eB.Am/ in front of the item url and go – your link will be created automatically.
Using the same example from the link above we get:
http://eB.Am/http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Nintendo/dp/B0009VXBAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1266778516&sr=8-1

That works with Amazon links of every country and eBay links too
