I am wanting my website to redirect and just go straight to my ebay store? How do I do that?? Is there a tutorial some where? I used search and could not find anything but I may not be using the right terms.
thanks!

Many registrars offer free domain forwarding. So you type in the domain, then are directed to the ebay store. You don't even need a 'web host' then.
You can also use .htaccess to redirect (see www.tips-scripts.com ).
Is that what you're looking for...or do you mean a certain section of your site?

oh my, I am not sure, I know nothing about computers. I will have my son look at those links.
I was hoping it was something I could do thru powweb as they are where I host my site. ;)

If you just want www.yoursite.com to go to your ebay store, then you can go to your registrar (if they have free domain forwarding) and point your domain directly to ebay. Then you don't really need powweb for that purpose.
If you want ebay.yoursite.com , then you do need powweb, and can use .htaccess or change your DNS to redirect to ebay.
Sorry if it sounds confusing.

I can't change my dns as that will mess up over 5000 pics I have hosted here. Did that once! yikes!

So you want www.yoursite.com to go to ebay...but then also have www.yoursite.com/image.gif still have a image hosted by powweb?
