Ebay Sidebox Mod stopped working

Hello,
A customers ebay module sidebox that was working fine has now stopped.

I am guessing this is due to a change at the ebay end, because the code and username at my end have not been touched.

Would anyone know the new URL`s to enter, or why this module has stopped working?

Thank you,

Glad you said something - I hadn't looked at mine in the past few days.
Ours isn't working either. :no:

I know eBay is messing around with their search and making some changes right now. I wonder if that's causing the problem.

Hello,
Yes.. it is def coming from the ebay end, there search function at the moment does not even bring up goods under certain user ID`s.

Hopefully someone who knows this process can let us know what we have to change in the code to get it to work??????????

I just tried changing it back to the cgi6 but it didn't work. :no:
I guess I'll just have to turn off that sidebox for the time being until there's a fix.

Still down. I checked with eBay Live Help and they confirmed search.ebay.com is still not working. I'm supposed to get an email about it in the next 48 hours; I'll let you know if its helpful.
