Automatically clean messy eBay product URLs into short, shareable links. No clicks needed.
eBay listing URLs arrive loaded with tracking parameters, campaign codes, and referral strings wrapped around an item number that’s only twelve digits long. Paste one into a message and it dominates the whole thing. Post it publicly and it looks like spam.
This extension cleans it before you notice. Open a listing and the address bar is already short.

How It Works
When you open an eBay product page, the extension detects the item ID and replaces your address bar with a clean short URL: ebay.com/itm/ITEMID. All tracking parameters are removed automatically.
Open the popup to copy the link, generate a QR code, or view your recent history.
Supports all major eBay domains including eBay.com, eBay UK, eBay DE, eBay FR, eBay AU, and 25+ more.
Privacy-First
No account required. No external servers. No tracking. Your link history is stored locally on your device only.
Why eBay URLs Are So Long — and What /itm/ Actually Needs
An eBay listing URL is really just an item number. ebay.com/itm/ITEMID is all it takes to open a listing — everything else (_trkparms, hash, campaign IDs, epid codes, search context) describes how you arrived, not what you’re looking at.
That extra weight causes real problems. Long URLs get truncated in chat apps, wrap awkwardly in emails, look untrustworthy in forums and marketplace groups, break spreadsheet columns, and pass your browsing path along to whoever clicks. For sellers, resellers, and deal-posters sharing listings all day, that’s a cost paid dozens of times over.
A clean itm/ITEMID link is short enough to read at a glance, safe to post anywhere, and opens exactly the same listing. The QR code covers the off-screen cases — moving a listing from desktop to phone, or sharing it in person.
