Hi all,

Just a heads-up that due to changes on eBay's side, I've implemented a code-rewrite on large portions of Auction Hunter and the eBay auction preview blocks.  There are a few minor functional changes -- the most obvious being that fixed-price items (those that do not have an auction with bids) no longer display an end time.  But most everything else should look and work the same.

As I slowly roll the new code out and squash bugs, please let me know in this thread if you see something that doesn't look or act right.  Thanks!

Hey Scott, I'm trying to create a new search and when I click 'New Search' the page doesn't do anything.

I actually haven't updated that portion of the code yet, so it should be working as before.  When you click the New Search button, it should send you to a screen to pick your eBay region.  Does it not do that for you?

I'm using a beta version of chrome on kindle.  v99.0.4844.27

That may be the issue.  Ill take a look again after I reinstall a release version.

Sorry for all the Auction Hunter spam today.  It wasn't my fault -- eBay has gone and changed something with the API without telling anyone -- so I disabled Auction Hunter until I have time to troubleshoot.

Auction Hunter re-enabled.  There will probably be higher-than-normal "false positives" (incorrect Rare items found) in the near future, which I'll endeavor to manually remove as usual.  eBay has stealthily rolled out a new AI "feature" that throws "suggested" items into API results.  Complete bullshit.
