A user’s Meta Muse agent had been gathering eBay listings into a daily digest, but recently stopped retrieving listing details and links. The Verge says it reproduced the problem using other search requests.
Why it mattersThat is a practical snag for AI agents trying to shop across the web: a service can become inaccessible even when a person can still browse it. The report does not establish that eBay has announced a general block on AI agents, so this looks like a reported access problem, not a settled platform policy.
Discuss: Should shopping sites have to offer a clear route for third-party AI agents, or is blocking them a reasonable way to control access to listings?
