Could you post the full URL? tinyur does a redirect through qksrv.net's
spyware system.

Very interesting. Could you explain a bit more about this concept. I
deleted all my cookies and clicked on that link and saw four new ones. One
being qksrv.net and three others. I did this a few times to see it happen
each time. What does this gain any spyware techneque if I remove these
cookies right away. Are there other tracking files placed elsewhere that I
should remove?
Thanks.

Not sure what may be added to your system. I use privoxy to block all
that shite, so the tinyurl links won't even load on my Mac.
The link from the OP resolved to
<http://www.qksrv.net/click-549798-54...0419&loc=http%
3A%2F%2Fcgi6.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewS ellersOtherItems%26use

It seems apparent to me that tinyurl is selling some sort of data to
qksrv.net.

At least it didn't resolve to goatse.cx. :-P That said, tinyurl links are
always cause for suspicion exactly because you don't know where you'll end
up. Would it really have been that difficult for the OP to provide this
direct link instead?
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...d=macinst ock
It doesn't even wrap, and it's immediately obvious that the link goes to
eBay and not goatse.cx, tubgirl, or something similarly nasty.

I use Pest Patrol for one among many. I don't see any effectiveness of
cookies if they are removed as soon or shortly after they are placed.
TinyURL seems to be nice as now I am seeing a link above that is incomplete
and useless to me. I have used it if I have doubts if a link I post will end
up the same long results. If Tiny URLs won't even load doesn't this have you
missing much or going through a lot of extra work rather than just removing
offensive cookies? I also use ZoneAlarm to block certain cookies defined as
"persistent" and "third party" while allowing ones needed to retain wanted
references. I am sure there is much I am not aware of and am willing to
learn others approach to blocking tracking methods that are constantly
changing.
Thanks

Well, no. Normallly I don't even bother clicking them so if I'm missing
something I don't know it, and it's less work, not more.
And "missing something" on the web or usenet? It's a given that I'm
"missing" >99% of what's out there. It doesn't bother me in the least.

That doesn't buy you much security because ebay dealers are free to
include any JavaScript code in their pages. Not too long ago a sports
car auctioned on ebay was actually used for phishing.

I like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com because I'm using a GS, and online, my
chat buds post URLs. They are most kind, and trim those URLs for me. If
I can view them with my GS, Excellent. If not, I can type a quick
snip/tiny URL on the G5 and I'm happy.

I have these discs - they're fun to watch and in some places just weird.
Apple, 1980's marketing and PR - whoa.
