there is a web site called tinyurl.com that converts long links
into little ones, havent tried it but I have seen and used the
tinyurl redirection links.

A handy tip is to place long links between < and > marks. Several
e-mail programs then will recognize that it's one continuing URL even
if it's broken over two or more lines.

Compare this:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=scann
i01&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50

<http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=scann
i01&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50>

Note that there is a line break at the end of line one in both cases.

You could even do like this:

<http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOther
Items&userid=scann
i01&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50>
