Thanks for the look / comments! Yeah, it's a tough call, isn't it? Obviously the pictures back from eBay are all different URLs, because they all belong to different auction listings. I suppose one way to do it would be to filter results with the same title, price and seller - try to catch those that upload multiple listings of the same thing? Maybe I'll look into that :-) Thanks again!

Using the example that I showed there all of the images were pointing towards the same URL, assuming your application is image URL aware it should be fairly easy to only display the uniques :)

  What do you know?! I should have checked that. I'm guessing (and it's pretty obvious thinking about it) eBay just reuse the link to the same images. Yeah, should be any trouble at all to sort duplicates - I'll probably aim to try and drop out listings with the same title, price and image. If the price if different you'll obviously want to click on the cheaper one, title could be size etc. Thank you, your help/ideas are really appreciated! edit: by duplicates I mean auctions similar enough to be duplicate. Obviously each one is a unique auction.
