The code looks like this:  <a href=http://your hosting 
site/recording.wav>CLICK HERE TO HEAR RECORD</a>

This line goes into the eBay description field at the point you want the 
"click me" to show up.

This works best if you write all of the code yourself and not rely on 
one of the whiz-bang auction generators.  They work also but you will 
have to read their documentation...

If you generate the html code with a Microsoft product you will lock out 
anything but Internet Explorer displaying the code properly.  If you use 
Open Office Writer it will work fine, its free also.

This is not hard... almost any reasonably competent 14yo can do this.
