Does my ebay link geolocate?[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I put a link to ebay in the Shop menu, and I expect it should geolocate to
your local ebay, but I did remove the JavaScript version and the image
counter. Since I can't test the geolocation myself without traveling to
other countries, I could use some feedback from people not in the United
States. Please let me know which ebay this link sends you to, so that I'll
know whether it is working.

I'll specifically ask for feedback from Kevin Pacey in Canada, Charles Gilman in England, H. G. Muller in the Netherlands, Carlos Cetina in Mexico, and Vitya Makov in Russia. Others may answer too.

I never visited Ebay before, so I am not sure what is supposed to happen.
When I click the menu item it brings me to http://www.ebay.com/?rmvSB=true
. Not much Dutch to see there...

My answer would be basically the same as H.G.'s, including the spelling of
the link that he gave, given that I've never visited Ebay before.

I think it should have sent you to ebay.nl. So I've added the JavaScript
back in. Would you check it again and tell me if it sends you to the
correct place?

From my location in Ottawa, Canada, the link is now indeed to:

http://www.ebay.ca/?rmvSB=true

Indeed, now it goes to ebay.nl for me.

Testing, to see if my comment shows.

(I posted two comments late last night, neither showed up, though strangely
it was indicated on the website that someone had just made a fresh post
each time that I did. I didn't need any HTML tag, either)

[edit:

I had included the following link:

http://www.chessvariants.com/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSchaturangafour

to show a particular Chaturanga variant ("Chaturanga - Four Kings - Double Mate"). I had wanted to say there seems to be only one preset (with no rule enforcement) that is used for if playing any of the 4-handed Chaturanga variants (i.e. to be played by 2 players on Game Corier). 

Hence, if one wishes to alert a potential opponent to one's desire to play the exact variant "Chaturanga - Four Kings - Double Mate" in advance of them accepting an invitation, they seem to be needed to be contacted in advance (such as via a public comment, like this one) prior to arranging any personal invitation using the 1 existing preset for 4-handed Chaturanga. Someone please point out to me if there is another solution in such cases of there being just 1 existing preset for more than 1 variant of a game.]

Re: missing comments

They are viewable directly:

http://www.chessvariants.com/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=32198

I'm not sure why listcomments.php is skipping over them...

Thanks Ben. I edited my last comment, which showed up (along with the
edit).
