Hello! I have a suggestion for the website as a whole. Here's what I was thinking:

We should be able to add sold Ebay listings, but in a shortened form. For example, this listing:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1978-Greece-One-Hundred-100-Drachmas-UNC-Note/264699109879?hash=item3da14be1f7:g:WZEAAOSw05taWYOz

We could shorten the link to:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/264699109879

Then, we categorize the listing under what coin/note it is, and condition as usual. Then, a moderator needs to look it over (like all creation/modification requests) before accepting it. This way, listings should be accurate.

Would something like this be good?

Cheers!

eBay listings don't stay forever, at least not all of them. So after a while you'll have a lot of broken links and that doesn't help anybody. So I'm sorry but I have to downvote your suggestion.
Yeah, fair enough. Maybe we could put some sort of limit (eg. No listings more than X weeks old), so that by the time they're accepted they are still valid. Plus, I still see broken links for other listings to be categorized, so maybe we could implement the limit even if we don't choose to add manually adding listings.

​I suggested that, I think eBay listings are no longer available after 3 months.
Do moderators have time to check all new entries, that shall be valid only for short period?
