I have created a search to look for a book Bites by Giovanni in AuctionSieve Version 5.0 MAC and nothing ever turns up. If I search the same thing with my browser I get three results from eBay stores. Why does AuctionSieve not find these items? Thank you.

Can you do the search on ebay and then post the url here?

Here's that url :

Ok, AuctionSieve only looks at the 'real' results. In this case there are 0 - it ignores the "results in other eBay areas". Those results from other areas can vary quite a bit - it may show items from international sites you're not interested in etc so, because it's unreliable, I don't grab them.
