Hi kurtrobear,
I swear, the javascript link stopped working again. It was kind of sporadic after the last update (via the pastbin link) but now, zilch. Any ideas?? Thanks SO MUCH!

Correct.
eBay has indeed once again changed some things (the "si" parameter which that script/method depends on, is no longer always listed in the source of the page. As such, for those item pages (mostly all BINs style auctions), the bookmarklet can't find it anymore and thus it can't construct the proper URL to go to.
But there is also some good news though....
I've made a bookmarklet script which has a far more complicated script than before, which works in all kind of conditions and even works on pages like the "Order Report" page....It also stores the latest found "si" parameter in a cookie, so it can be used later when there is no "si" parameter listed anymore in the the source, like with BIN (Buy It Now) style auctions.
But before I paste that, I have to say that the original/old method of manually constructing the URL to get the "Print button/link" back, also seems to be working again!!!..... It even works for closed listings too if you add another parameter ("orig_cvip=true")!!!!!!!!!!!:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&orig_cvip=true&item=xxxxxx
where xxxxxx needs to be replaced with the item number, will once again give you the item page with the "Print" button/link where it used to be, on the right side of the page, next to the "Report item" button/link.
But, this said, and while doing the research (if you can call it that), I accidently noticed that the "Print" button/link seems to be back for certain active items (not all)!!!???? Can anyone confirm that??
Either way, it still isn't there in closed listings though, and it also doesn't always seem to be there. But I swear I saw it couple of times lately.
SO, the above URL workaround can again be used.
The more complicated bookmarklet/script I'll post later (time has run out here, need to get back to work), but for the time being you could use the manual workaround with the above link. Hope that helps a bit......

Which I responded....
Hey Kurt.
OK . I will wait! Where do you add the ("orig_cvip=true") to make the old one work with closed listings?

(ebay says this content was changed due to invalid HTML).....?
