This program is an extension to the "standard" e-bay search program at: Ebay Search Program Data for this program was collected from November 2008 onwards for American and German ebay and (when ebay.co.uk changed their system) from July 2010 for British ebay. There is a gap in the data between Oct 2010 and Dec 2010 when ebay changed its formats. Against all matching search patterns, the winners and bidders anonymous ids are given. The numbers in square brackets ( [ ] ) after the anonymous ids are the feedback counts for that identifier at the time the auction completed. A number "-1" inside the square brackets indicates that the bidder has kept his/her feedback count hidden. The entries in the "Winner and Bidders" column contain the different bidders in the auction. The number of these entries may be less than or equal to the number in the "Bids" column. Searches may be made for these anonymous ids, e.g. a search may be made for: m***a or m***a[79] etc. A short help file is available at: Quick Help A full help file is available at:  Full Help Back   Home
