Need your help once again. We have seen that ebay links were one of the main cause of slow page loading. We now have rewritten the scrript and need you help for a check.
The new script recognizes your OS language (Windows-MAC-Linux operative system language) and should link you to the right ebay page from your country. Please check if it really works. Let me also know if the search string works well or if I should change it. If you also have ideas for more search terms let me know 🙂
The script works for: Austria-Australia-Belgium-Canada-Suisse-Germany-Spain-France-Ireland-Italy-Holland-UK-US. If you are not from one of those countries you will be redirected to Ebay.com
The ebay links are on the left sidebar. But I also posted them here:

I’ve reported, so here I go again: became enough fast here 🙂 Thanks for the fast reaction! Keep up good work.
How about directing other countries straight to global.ebay.com?
Hi Alfons!
I thought to have direct links to detailled stuff would be more useful for you. That’s the idea.
I live in Singapore and I can tell you you home page is loading much faster now.
This website is a fantastic source of 4/3 info however all the adverts are REALLY tacky. I’m sorry, but begging your visitors to buy stuff from amazon/bay etc is not only irritating but utterly unprofessional from a website that wants to be credited as a respected/relevant source of news/rumors.
I realise that you want to make money from this site, however slapping adverts in the users face is NOT going to encourage them to buy, it’ll simply annoy them and stop them from coming back.
Please, strip the ads off the front page, then have a ‘deals’ section. Then if the user wasn’t to buy from you, they can and will.
Adding a ‘news’ story that amazon has product in stock (then providing a link that gives you money) looks truly awful.
I’m not saying this to be a troll. It’s the honest truth, and I’ve heard people saying the same thing about this specific site around the internet. (check the Wired/engaget blogs and comments)
Basically, if you want to be taken seriously, stop making this website look like a spam site. Get a good designer to re-do your layout. If you cant do that use a good CMS and clean theme (lots are available for wordpress,drupal etc for free) This should only take an afternoon..
I’d be happy to help you out if you’re stuck..
Cheers
Rob
Hi Rob! It’s damn difficoult to fin the correct advertising limit. I will start a poll and ask the people what to do ok? Thanks ROb
i’m from germany, but the script directs me to ebay.com
Hi BornBad!
I found an error…does it work now?
Hello.
If it is supposed that the links redirect to local ebay sites, it doesn’t work for Spain. All the links leads to ebay.com except this one of zeiss lenses, that leads to ebay.uk
It seems the home page loads a bit faster than before.
Cheers
Hi Endika!
I will try to fix the problem…
Looks good to me, and much much quicker :O)
thanks admin!
Dont want to put down the work you’re doing here, its fantastic! keep it up!
I think a great example of how to do it right is macrumors.com. It is probably one of the biggest rumor sites on the internet and I think it’s excellent. It has very little advertising and makes a real effort to grow/push its forums. I know it does very well, because the guy running it was able to quit his job and take it up full time. This proves that a little (well placed) advertising goes a very long way…
Thanks for setting up a poll, hope everyone votes
Cheers
Rob
Hi Rob!
I am glad you helped me! Macrumors is a good example. I really want to make it easy for you all to enjoy the website. I will do my best to archieve the goal!
Cheers
ebay links are working now
Here SHOUTING from Spain 😉
All links redirect correctly and open quickly.
Thanks Tony!
Just tried the eBay links.
I am in Canada but am connected to the US eBay.
I avoid buying from the US due to all the headaches with shipping delays, brokerage fees etc. A link to eBay.ca would be nice but I’m not planning on selling any of my m43 equipment just yet 🙂
Works for me — US based
Thanks 21!
I’m from Ireland, but the script directs me to ebay.com…
Thanks Tono!
I will try again…
Leica Lenses eBay link is actually just Leica eBay link.
By the way, I noticed when testing the link that someone is offering eight new Leica M9s at $2900 each. No eBay feedback record. I imagine he’s also offering the Eiffel Tower elsewhere on eBay at a discount too.
Thanks for your marvelous posting! I truly enjoyed
reading it, you can be a great author. I will be sure to bookmark
your blog and definitely will come back in the foreseeable future.
I want to encourage you to ultimately continue your great work, have a nice
morning!
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out.
Please let me know where you got your theme. Appreciate it
