eBay no longer searchable with trigger

[ihf]

I'm not sure exactly when they changed, but eBay no longer supports wildcards ('*") in their searches. As a result my trigger that invokes an eBay search goes to eBay's homepage rather than doing the search. Is there any workaround for this?

I’m not sure why wildcard searching is relevant. Do you mean because
you’re trying to search for “***” and copy the resulting URL? If
so, that’s only one way to do it (that I personally never use).

A more reliable way is to search for something like “computer” on
the site, then just manually replace your search term in the URL with
“***”.

Thanks. I tried that but It worked once when I replaced a seasrch word with *** but not again.. It appears that the URL contains more information that may be preventing it. Can you get it to work?
