Yup, after changing providers I can now participate in the wonder that
is PHP.

Yeah, their motivations aren't lost on me, but at least it's beneficial to the
users as well as to eBay.  Gotta start somewhere.

I wonder if they now let you do more than 20 saved searches.  I've stopped
using that feature since I rigged up a script to do about 60 searches and
e-mail me the results twice per week.  B-)

Makes perfect sense:  This change increases their profitability.  The more

they're likely to collect.  

Don't give them credit just yet :-)

[SWCollect] eBay Actually INCREASES Functionality!

2002-07-23 Thread C.E. Forman

Hey, I don't know if you guys noticed (I didn't until just now), but eBay
now allows you to "watch" up to 30 auctions without bidding.  This is a step
up from 20 the last time I remember it.  This has got to be the first time
in history that eBay has *increased* functionality on its site rather than
scaling it down to compensate for poor performance.
