When I looked at doing the same thing a few years ago, I found it was explicitly ruled out in the conditions attached to the eBay API. There may be a way to get by under the radar, but I considered it a sufficiently sketchy business model I abandoned the idea.

if you're not using ebay's api, then how are you gathering this data? or am i reading this incorrectly and you are indeed using ebays api?
That is not the creator of this tool. The maker is quoted earlier in the thread talking about the API usage increasing the speed of the process by 200-300%, so he is definitely using the API.
