These links could be accessed on ebay a short time ago using lynx. So there
has been a recent change on ebay. This does not necessarily mean that lynx
does not have a bug. I recently compiled:
Lynx Version 2.8.5dev.2 (15 Aug 2001)
libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6
Built on solaris2.8 Sep 15 2001 12:02:4
This is the most recent version of lynx that I know of -- and it
also has a problem accessing these links.
There is a lynx (development??) list , I believe you can ask questions
and read responses through a website without subscribing to the list.
You can find out about the lynx list and its archive by typing
"h" in lynx and following the links. I sent an email to ebay about this
but have not yet received a reponse.
