The the results displayed in Snipe All is slightly different to the eBay search results on the screen?

Snipe All seem to have a few more results, than what shows on the eBay page.

Is it because I use the function 'search title and description' on the ebay search - eBay will display or omit results as I specified, but when click Snipe All, it seems to ignore the fact that I ticked 'search title and description'

I just tried it and it seems working fine for me (using my own search results, of course).

Can you please provide your eBay link so I can replicate it?

Try this: http://desc.shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=a400+-faulty+-fault+-problem+-problems+-replica+-copy+-spare+-spares+-repair+-repairs+-malfunctioned+-wet+-water+-broken+-broke+-%22not+work%22+-chinese+-china&_sacat=31388&_fspt=1&LH_Auction=1&_sadis=500&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=3&LH_PayPal=1&LH_Distance=LS237BJ..500&LH_PrefLoc=1&_dmpt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&_dmd=1&_fpos=LS237BJ&_odkw=a400+-faulty+-fault+-problem+-problems+-replica+-copy+-spare+-spares+-repair+-repairs+-malfunctioned+-wet+-water+-broken+-broke+-%22not+work%22+-chinese+-china&_osacat=31388&bkBtn=&LH_TitleDesc=1&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313#


It's quite a complicated search, but anyway here is my explanation,


eBay shows 14 results, Snipe All also shows 14 as well - that is accurate

But in the search, if you add more words, e.g I add -crack -cracked, click Search, again eBay will show the same 14 results as before, but Snipe All shows me 15 - the extra item is ebay item 290434489455 (Canon PowerShot A400 Digital Camera).

I clicked that item, and that item should not be displayed in Snipe All if it DOES follow ebay - that item in the description has the word 'faulty' - which all items with the world 'faulty' should be ommited in searches.




This is just one example I provide you, but depending on the search criteria, Snipe All doesn't follow the "-xxxxx" omitting search tags as you can see.

Thanks a lot for providing such detailed information, it helped a lot.

I made a change so it should be working now. Please try and let me know if any issues.
Thanks for reporting about it.

Want to try but the Snipe All pop up windows don't even work now!

The pop up says:

Your url is getting bigger and it's hitting the internal limits. I put some extra optimization to make it fit.
Please try again.

It's good now thank you.

I got a different question - it seems that the Snipe All list is limited to 50 items? Why can it not have more? e.g. eBay search says there are 115 items found but it only shows 50 in Snipe All.

It's limited to whatever you see on the screen.
You can change this to 25, 50, 100 or 200 when you select an appropriate option on the bottom of the eBay's search page.

See this link:

http://photography.shop.ebay.co.uk/Digital-Cameras-/31388/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A2471&_nkw=canon+digital+camera&_catref=1&_dmpt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&_ipg=200&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14


it should show 4144 items in total, but there are 200 displayed on the eBay search page. However, if you click Snipe All it only displays 50 maximum.

It will not fetch all 4144 items because it's too many and you may think that your browser is not responding.
The "Snipe All" displays what you see on the search page only. By default eBay shows 50 items. But if you click "200" on the bottom, you will get 200 items in your "Snipe All" window.

I know what you meant, I did click 200 already but it still showed 50 in Snipe All.

Weird. I can't replicate the problem. I used your link and I got 200 items in my list as expected.
Are you sure you are getting 50 items in your list? I added a counter in the table so it's easy for you to get a current item's count.

OK, as of now,

1) I search this:

http://photography.shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=canon+digital+camera&_sacat=31388&_dmpt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&_odkw=canon+digital+camera&_osacat=31388&bkBtn=&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313

2) Then click on 200, so it shows 200 items.
3) Then eBay search shows 200 items, which is correct.
4) I click Snipe All - the pop up comes with URL:

https://www.myibay.com/main/miniadds/&link=eJwlyksKwyAQANCrZJVdxkahSEG6aO4hE2Oi-EWnlNw-tF29zXNE9cFYdYXK0bC6E7orFeyKJ5gC78AWf3jCOL0w2YZ9YmIWUjIPjlJ86hw-ymAuedj-cTC_OGqD1Oyu5lHvMX-hFrrfVBVc3sHcIHHJL7VZLHE


but there shows actually 51 items.


Here I copy & paste what my pop up looks like:

I went through the same steps -- works fine.
Maybe your eBay page is customized? Can you please try to logout of eBay and do it again (you can just do the step 4 by entering this link into your browser)?
