I don't see the link to the actual pdf.. regardless I'm sure it's there, and that was cool of you.

I have no idea how anybody is having trouble, the link was very clearly indicated and it worked.

Maybe you need to write CLICK HERE in caps on either side of it. And give them the actual URL.. most people can identify those.

EDIT: I can't bear to think of what the people who actually bought it in PDF format thought.. a cutesy little uninformative and offending book, only a couple dozen pages.

None of the words in the actual auction are links. They are normal text; there is nothing to click.

i never said to message me and i will send the link.

i revised the auction after i listed it b/c it originally said that to copy and paste the link, but you only needed to click it b/c i created an active link.

the auction does not exist for an hour or two until ebay brings it back up, but it did work initially. so, soon you can follow the link in this thread or through ebay.

as far as defeating the purpose, no i spent the money to let other know that they didn't need to and to let the two guys know they were *******s making money off something that i don't think they should have even if the amount is not substancial.

i think we're having a misunderstanding here. i mean it would defeat the purpose if you actually made it an auction where they would pay for the ebay fees to get the link from you.

Well that just ruled out 90% of the computing population worth paying any attention to.
