QlynkWhy does a eBay link open in the browser?
An eBay listing shared in a conversation often opens in the browser, where the buyer has to sign in again to bid or watch the item. Qlynk recognizes item addresses (/itm/ followed by the number) on ebay.com and ebay.fr and prepares them to open in the eBay app.
How to do it with Qlynk
- Copy the listing address from eBay (it contains /itm/ and a number).
- Paste it into Qlynk. With Pro, choose the end of the link.
- Share it: the listing opens in the eBay app for people who have it installed.
On iPhone, Qlynk sends the original eBay address: iOS opens the app if it’s installed, with no error message. On Android, the link opens the app, or the web page if the app isn’t installed. On a computer, the page opens as usual.
When is it useful?
- Sharing an auction with your followers before it closes
- Putting the listing for a collectible in a private message
- Printing a QR code on a parcel or flyer that points to your secondhand shop
- Sending a customer the exact listing for a part they are looking for
