Ebay link converter

Ebay links get automatically converted - anyway to stop or choose this?
I wanted to have a more of a surprise to a post as ebay title gave it away completely. i understand a link would appear when hovered or when clicked - but just seemed to kind of spoil it!

That's interesting - it said 'guess what it is' when I first posted it!

... and it did again, even when I refreshed the page - but not when I came back to it a few seconds later.

Hence my query!

but as mcerd has shown, if you edit ebay title that it gets converted to it remains.

I think he did it by using the ebay link button - second from the right in the row above the editing window.

I just typed [ebay] ##### [/ebay]

Where ##### is just the item number copied from the eBay listing or from the address bar
