John (and others),
I have found that if you copy and paste only from the beginning of the URL 
to the end of the item number it works just fine.  See:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7609867335
rather than:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7609867335&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D7609867335%26fvi%3D1

Regards,
Larry
