I know!

This happens to me with every post! When you try to open the link it’s always a blank screen! I hope this gets fixed.

What Web browser are you using? I don't seem to have that problem with Firefox, but I have had similar issues with certain sites working better with one browser than with another, and even though Chrome and Edge both use the Chromium source code, they sometimes perform quite differently on the same sites. It's not nearly as bad as back in the "optimized for Internet Explorer" days, when sites carrying that designation were usually non-functional when viewed with competing browsers, but it's still annoying.
 
The eBay links are too long and they get clipped by the website when it shortens the URL. I always use TinyURL when posting eBay links.

Also with eBay URL's it combines your search path into the URL now when you share an item link, which you don't need to copy. All you need is the item number and everything before that. Anything that follows the item number starting from the "?" you dont need to copy.

Robert,

You're welcome.

It does work correctly now if I copy the link directly in the main post.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/205431051103

However, if I do the same thing in the URL field below while in preview mode, it won't show as a clickable link after I post and leave preview mode.
