HI, all: I think I'm brain-dead this morning. Can't figure out how to put a link to one of my auctions in another auction. (Or is it illegal?)

I'm guessing I should copy the url that's in the window, when I pull up the auction I want to link into another, but what little code thingies do I put before and after that?

Edited to add: This is the auction I want to link into another auction:

<a href="U**RL OF YOUR OTHER AUCTION HERE" target="_blank">PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE MY OTHER ****** LISTING</a>

The above code will give you a "click here" link (add your item URL and Title)

I apologize for being so dense! What, in the location I provided in my message at top, should be eliminated? I get that I should include www. etc. but what should *not* be there?

If I can once master this thing, I can use it again, and I know I will. Sort of the way we all had to learn how to put a photo into a thread here at Vendio. . . .

You aren't doing anything wrong if your HTML looks like this:

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&amp;item=320001397619%20" target="_blank">PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE MY DADDY'S TIE CRAFT BOOK LISTING</a>

You can put other verbage for the "CLICK HERE TO SEE..." ETC.

Neglus aced the code, but just for the sake of yet another example here's a site that also shows how. Scroll down a ways and look for "Creating links to other WWW pages".

I like a low "flash factor" for my listings, but once in awhile I like to try out some html just to change up things a bit for my listings.
