    Default shorter urls

    Is there a way to direct people to your stores using a shorter url than the huge complicated one that takes them to your about me page? I include flyers in all my ebid and ebay mailings but know that myself if i got an url that long with all those /=? i just wouldnt bother typing it in?

    Yes - register your user name as a url, and direct it at your store.
    (as in my banner below).

    Can chop and change easily too - if you simply want them to point at a certain range within your store.

    I have loads of urls reg'd pointing various places on the sites i use.

    Yes. Look at the top of your store (not the address bar, actually on the page) and you'll see a version of the URL that goes something like yourshopname.ebid.net

    Here you go. Google url shortener. Its a good one. Some sites will not accept tidy or bit.ly.
