I've updated this script so that it includes more search pages and also works with "eBay's new search experience". It's been refactored pretty heavily, but it should be easier to read and update now. Please let me know if you have any problems.

One further comment to my note below....apparently there is some interaction with "parental controls" as well...both "ad blocking" and "parental controls" need to be OFF in NIS 2004 to make this script work properly.

I just found out that Norton Internet Security 2004 thinks this is an "ad" for some reason and blocks the "next item" link from appearing. When the "ad blocking" feature is turned off, the "next item" link works fine.

I posted way back in Dec. 2005....I now have reloaded the script and again...it works on one computer but not others...I've checked my firewall for differences in config (e.g. popups allowed, not allowed, etc.) and can't see any differences. What should I be looking for?

The userscripts.org error went away. Now you can install the script from both my website and here.

Mortimer: The script never had a chance of working on ebay.co.uk since there were some hard-coded URLs in the actual code. I've updated the script so that it works on both ebay.com and ebay.co.uk now.

I'm also now using XPath instead of manual DOM traversal which should make it slightly more resistant to changes by eBay.

Unfortunately, userscipts.org is giving me an error when I tell it to update the script so you'll have to get the new version from my website by clicking on "Original Source Location".

Well, I cannot find the link to the next item, so I suppose it is not working. I use FF1.5 with greasemonkey 0.6.4 on linux and osX, I search for example on ebay.co.uk:
"airport express apple"
or
"k's choice"

I checked the included sites and changed them to include ebay.co.uk and not ebay.com, but it does not make any difference

I just tested it with Firefox 1.5 on both Windows and Linux machines and it's working for me. Can you tell me what version (of FF and GM) you're using and what you're searching for on eBay that's not working?

It use to work but now it does not, Ebay must have changed something to break the script! Please Fix ASAP, This is a great feature!

Worked on a machine I put this on yesterday (Dec. 1) but does not work on two other machines today. Great when it works! All configurations are the same on each machine.
