The problem:
Currently whenever I use this:

<a href="www.ebay.com"></a>

It links it like so:

www.exampleforum.com/www.ebay.com

URL mycode is unaffected, so [url][/url] isn't changed and neither is just posting the link normally.

I'm quite sure I must have followed a tutorial for changing all outgoing links to nofollow and this is where the problem was caused, so I'm in need of help on fixing this. Thank you in advance!

The short answer is that because the provided url doesn't include a protocol (such as http or https), the web browser tries to resolve it relative to the current page.

<a href="http://www.ebay.com">ebay</a>

Oh what a fool I am.
Thanks a bunch sir!
