I don't quite follow how the IP address would be different. Could you elaborate on that? This is technically possible, but for ~3,000 products, checking on an hourly basis would make ~72,000 requests per day -- which definitely would get flagged, I think.

I mean you do the request from within the user's browser (their IP address). So for example, they filter out 5 products, and from the javascript in the browser you perform the request for those 5 products, and then show the user which ones are available. It could also send the data back to your server. Of course you still have to be careful with the number of requests, but it would allow you to get more data without getting flagged.

  CORS headers from eBay will prevent that unfortunately
