 |

AS currently doesn't get *any* results.
After investigating, it appears eBay are doing some sort of browser check.
ie one of those things where you go to a website and you get a page that says something like "Checking your browser" and then after a few seconds it redirects to the website.
I'm not sure I'll be able to come up with a fix for this one...  |

Crazy idea 47262.
Perhaps you could make a browsers extension that takes and post search URLs from AuctionSeive and posts them via the browser and then parses the results back into the AuctionSeive database. I don't know enough about extensions to know if the limitations would allow such shenanigans as POSTs and local data manipulation.
I got inspired by my work around today, manually hacking eBay search URLs. |

Came here to say this... but it's already been said.
The ens**tification of ebay continues!
My thought is to tie into ebay's API (as was the intention many years ago) instead of scraping html pages - but I appreciate that's a lot of work.

That's where I'm at now too (I'd started this when ebay last made changes) - I have a html file saved with the hacked links to each search. EDIT ebay URL details here.
If you do manage to find a fix - great. But if not - Thanks Nev, it's been fun.
