Product Description:

If you use iCal and eBay, this one is for you. Whenever you visit an article page in Safari, you can automatically create an event for that article (including a reminder 15 minutes before) in iCal by running this tiny applescript.

What's new in this version:

  • now supports eBay.nl as well as Italy, France, Germany, UK, USA.
  • Leopard Notice: Apple has changed something that breaks the automatic creation of a calendar named "eBaytoiCal" if it does not exist. I was not able to fix this, but a workaround is to just create this calendar manually in iCal. Make sure it is called "eBaytoiCal".

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • iCal 1.5.2

eBaytoiCal Usage TipWorks flawlessly under 10.5.1 . . . - Version: 2.0.1, 12/21/2007 12:11PM PST

iff there is already an iCal calendar called "eBaytoiCal" or if one creates it manually. (As documented at http://www.kortenkamps.net/tiki-index.php?page=Mac+OS+X+Software
eBaytoiCal lost the ability to create the calendar automatically with the advent of Leopard.)

'Cannot parse page'

to Version 2.01 displaying:

'Can't get <<class wres>> 1 of application "iCal" whose title = eBay to iCal. Invalid index.'
