It had nothing to do with people looking for trimmed and altered cards. That's just another log on the conspiracy theory log cabin. Worthpoint was crawling eBay sales history, as was Terapeak. Both were paid services that effectively offered the same thing to eBay buyers and sellers. eBay acquired Terapeak a few years ago and they changed their agreements with competitors like Worthpoint afterward. They also changed their source code so that people like me who wrote scripts that would tell you what an item sold for could no longer do so. They want you to use Terapeak.
