Updated version as Firefox addon, replied by NettiCat

NettiCat — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:43:31 +0000

To remember the original author Johnny Bravo I updated his brilliant script, but released it as Firefox addon:
http://netticat.ath.cx/EbaySearchPictures/EbayS...

It needed only a few fixes to work again. However it is tested with german ebay only (where it works fine) and I have no clue which other countries would work. There will be no way to simply adapt the script, since eBay uses significantly different scripts in some other countries.
So just try it, maybe you're a lucky user and the addon works for your country too.

Johnny, from what I can tell, the thumbnails are now using the following URL as the concept:
'thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/itemnumber6464_1.jpg', for example visit http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/2003546640656....

That is a real shame. This is probably the best GM script ever written. I hope that one day you can resurrect this script.

Seems like ebay have rewritten the page significantly

Too bad, I declare this script DEAD at the hands of ebay pricks

How odd. being an aussie, that's where I test it.

But you are right. I'm getting an error now as well. Will investigate the problem

For some reason this does not work on the AU eBay site.

for german ebay replace line 111 to 113 with:
'//IMG[@src="http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/icon/iconPic_20x20.gif"', '@src="http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/de/icon/iconPic_20x20.gif"', '@src="http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/de/lst/_p__64x15.gif"', '@src="http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/lst/_p__64x15.gif"'
and add
http://*shop.ebay.*/* to the applied web sites.

full code: http://phpfi.com/349977

for other countries:
replace /de/ with your country code. to get your country code, right click on the camera picture that you want to replace and select "properties". there you can find the image url including the correct country code.

I can confirm dexter crowley.
It no more works for German Ebay, even if adding additional URL patterns :(
A fix would be great!

madhatter: Nope, I tried that before and it didn't do the trick.

Example: http://shop.ebay.de/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l131...

Does that work for you?

madhatter 2 — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:08:21 +0000

If you add http://shop.ebay.de/* and http://*.shop.ebay.de/* it seems to work again

Doesn't seem to work on global.ebay.com. :-/

EDIT: Nevermind that - looks like global.ebay.com has recently started showing previews on all items.

Excellent script but unfortunately it stopped working today. I added
// @include http://*m6n.ebay.*/*
to the script so it's active on the artile list but the imaged aren't displayed. :-(
