Well that depends on the current traffic on eBay. It worked allright this afternoon (GMT), but I get the same error message now (btw, a few years ago you only got an error message if a search retruned more than 1M items). Try it with this search: <http://search.ebay.com/new> which gives about 2.2M items.
