Back in September I wrote about some issues I was having pulling data.

The software I use to pull eBay data, Auction Intelligence (AI), was having problems dealing with a new eBay “feature” and not pulling all the data it was supposed to be.  A temporary fix was put in place.  After a while I thought this was fixed.  The amount of search data being pulled was way down but I was putting the blame for that on several big sellers no longer being active on eBay combined with the usual seasonal fluctuation as we moved in Fall.   It turns out I was mistaken.

After a couple of months of work, Auction Intelligence has issued another update that deals much better with eBay’s security features.   It turns out I was missing a lot of data.  Some is now lost, due to age.   I will do my best to capture what I had been missing  Emphasis will be put on higher priced items as these sell less frequently.

It will take a while but things will eventually return to normal.  I’m hoping the loss of any significant pricing data will be minimal.
