eBay appears to have shut the door on third-party AI agents

eBay has seemingly restricted access for third-party AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from browsing its platform. This development marks another challenge in the AI agent competition. Previously, a user had been utilizing Muse to gather daily updates on watches for sale on eBay, including links, prices, shipping details, and condition notes. However, recent attempts to access eBay through Muse have failed, with the AI agent reporting being blocked. The Verge verified this issue by replicating the search requests and observing similar outcomes.
