  Hi,
  
  I’m late to the game, but apparently according to ebay for business since April 15th you can only do 250 terapeak searches a day? I maxed out yesterday and it’s so frustrating because I was looking up weird costume jewelry and 3 months just isn’t enough data. From Ebay for business:
  
  “Hey Lauren, I hope you’re doing well. I definitely understand your concerns with the terapeak searches. I checked up any limits for the program and we do have a 250 search limit per day. This is for all users, not just you. It does reset every day so you will be able to use up to 250 searches today. Let me know if you have any other questions! ~Gabriel”
  
  Ugh.

  Yep, that’s news to me. I can live with it, but I’m not thrilled with it….thanks for giving us the heads up on this!

  Wonder why they limit searches. Maybe they were having issues with people writing scripts to ping their databases thousands of times a day.
  
  250 searches seems arbitrary.

  It might actually be a limit of 256, and someone thought “Hang on! That’s going to look suspicious…” and rounded it down.
  
  A friend told me about a Belgian politician who won an election by 4,096 votes more than the number of electors who actually voted for him. Turned out a cosmic ray had passed through a computer and flipped a bit from zero to one.
