ebaySearchPictures

Add pictures in search where no preview picture exists v5.0

6 May 2008 - wow, almost two and a half years since I touched this, but, yeah, it wasn't always working properly. Hopefully, that should be fixed now in v5.0

19 Dec 2005 - With many thanks to Lars Formella, this script should now also work in "My Ebay" and stores

oops ... 4.1 is a little broken, hopefully got it right in 4.2

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. :-(

hello. first thanx for that nice plug.thats exactly what i am searching for.
in the past i used lauge browser. (lauge.de)
a cool tool too, but overloaded with add's.
i have a little wish: it where fine, when on mouse over the pic,the original sized item pic(s) pops up.is there more than one picture in the gallery,merge them horizontal to a (css?java?overlay?alertbox?)stripe.
while ebaysearchpictures is doing it's job (it looks into the auctions and 'borrow' :-) the fullsized article pictures),
i think it is useful to temporarly download/prefetch all fullsized artikel pix to a temp folder.
but a good advice is, to give the user a limit-control over the spider conections.
(some user have unpatched xp sp2 with 10 connection limit)plz take a look to lauge browser.thx
Dirk

Ah, I wasn't sure what EventManager was doing, and I didn't really have time to understand it. It seemed like maybe it was using on* (onclick, onload, etc), which don't work in 0.6.4.

Greasemonkey 0.6.4 is linked from Greaseblog. You can download it at:

thanks ... but where is GM 0.6.4??? ;)

I have noticed new Image() breaks GM, but that's about the only REAL change I can see in the code ... (besides getting rid of the EventManager stuff - an attempt to minimize EventListener memory leakage - which worked well in GM 0.3.3)

dexter, I've seen it happen on occaision, unfortunately, I haven't been able to track a cause ... other scripts and real world getting in the way ;-) ... but I am looking into it

I LOVE this script... But sometimes the picture size is wrong. The images should be 80px width, but sometimes they're only 20px, and in the eBay Stores they're often much larger.

John,

You get the format sometime in the UK. For example, if you search for 'phone' and then click 'mobile and home phones' you get the URL http://phones.search.ebay.co.uk/phone_Mobile-Ho....

Your script has search*.ebay.*/* in it, but this doesn't pick it up, because there is no asterisk before 'search'.

Robert, regarding the second suggestion, I COULD set the height for each row to 80px (plus), however, some thumbs are considerably less than 80px high, so those rows would look odd with the shorter thumb in them - I'll have a play with it, see if it's too annoying, and may make it a config option

As far as the first point. I've never come across that format url for ebay, however, I've only looked in Australia, US, UK and Germany. I'll update it shortly, but, which country uses that format?

John,

A great improvement - thank you! Two comments, both minor:

(1) you need to change one of the URLs that the script works with to from search*.ebay.*/* *search*.ebay.*/* (i.e. add an asterisk before search) so it works on all ebay pages. The user can do this themselves obviously...
(2) Is there a way to make the script set the height of ALL lines in the search to 80px BEFORE it tries to load each thumbnail. This would mean that the screen wouldn't keep jerking downwards if you scroll and then it begins loading thumbs and increasing the row height above you.

Sorry to be the pedant - this script deserves 6 out of 5 already.

All we need now is a script to sort the search results by the total price including postage costs... :)

re maximum height, it should now limit the height, currently the limit is the same as the width, that is, 80px on my system.

I don't know if eBay show different sized thumbs for different screen resolutions, however, the script limits image size based on the width of the containing cell, so any changes by eBay wont break the script.

the script does work in GM 0.5+ as the GM_xmlhttpRequest API is back in that version.
