This is a patched fork of the abandoned "eBay Seller Location" script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/410587-ebay-seller-location

It displays the location of the eBay seller on eBay product pages (in the info box on the right) and on search results.

There is a high likelihood that occasionally the script will fail because the eBay server gets suspicious about too many http requests. The script tries to check location info one seller at a time to avoid this which makes it slow, and sometimes you may have to manually open eBay in a new tab and solve a captcha to get it to work again. Since there is no longer any unprotected eBay API, this natural side-effect of webcrawling is unavoidable.
