Automatically check eBay for favorite auction items
Authored by: pkcyll on May 22, '03 09:00:34PM

As an old eBay employee who was in the Performance group, please.... do not run these automated scripts very often. Search on eBay is slow and one of the many reasons is scripts like this. Furthermore, eBay runs daily jobs on all the web logs looking for robots and blocks the IP address of the more obnoxious ones. Use Search wisely. :-)

I absolutely agree with you. I only run my applescript every couple of days for a total of maybe 3-4 times.
