Que perdida para el comprador! Una script de $39.99 puede hacer ese trabajo en buscadores y ademas screen scraping es ilegal. El comprador no podra hacer profits de los resultados de los buscadores porque es illegal. Yo le plantee este problema como pregunta al vendedor a traves de ebay y ni me respondio. El sabe porque. Una vez google le banee la entrada los 100k se fueron a la mierda. Si no respeta los robots de google pueden meterse en un gran problema. Esa meta search engine cerro por $100k + ya en ebay.
