Example of one ebay url: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313606425313?hash=item4904664ae1:g:voUAAOSwP9BhH1Fj&var=612446123827

By the time you're reading this, the link may be dead.

But that's not the point, the point is what is the meaning of the ?hash=item4904664ae1:g:voUAAOSwP9BhH1Fj part of the url?

I understand the 313606425313 is the eBay itemId and if it's a variation size or color that is what &var=612446123827 is for.

Does anybody know what the ?hash=item part means?

  • I'm making a guess here but I think it's because eBay cycles the item number path in the URL. To avoid collisions, there is probably an additional hashing function. This reduces the odds of URL conflicts of just the item number path. – www139 Jun 18 '22 at 17:40
