eBay allows AuctionRover to scrape..
from the good-fences-make-good-neighbors dept
After all that hubub that eBay raised a few weeks ago blocking AuctionWatch, they announced today that AuctionRover will now feature up-to-date eBay results in their meta-auction searcher.. Neato neato.. hopefully this means that other sites will be able to offer eBay in their meta results again.

Not so cool...
Actually, I don’t think this is cool… haven’t read all the details, but as I understand it Auctionrover had to *license* the right to do this from eBay, and has to set up a separate section on their site for goods sold on eBay… What’s next? Licensing rights for deep linking? This sets a bad precedent.
