Just discovered this morning that the "ebay" command (and others derived from it) is broken, and a bit of testing suggests variants for other countries like ebayde, ebayuk, ukebay, ebayes, ebayit, etc. aren't working either.
eBay now uses this URL by default for searches:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw=%seBay sites in all countries seem to be using this:
http://www.ebay.TLD/sch/i.html?_nkw=%s(Replace .TLD with the country's top-level domain, like .de, .
co.uk, .it, com, and so forth.)
Thanks, hope you've had a good weekend!
