Looks like eBay made some changes to their site.

To fix ensiper's first error while getting the item bid history, change line 232 of auction.c is to:

static const char HISTORY_URL[] = "http://%s/bfl/viewbids/%s";

That allows esniper to get further along. It then fails at the login page which must have changed in some subtle way.

Somebody with a better HTTPS tracing setup and familiarity with how the eBay HTTPS POST login worked before needs to take a look at auction.c. The login URL constants at line 406 and ebayLogin() function at line 515 must now be deficient in some way.

auction.c(406-408):
static const char LOGIN_1_URL[] = "https://%s/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn";
static const char LOGIN_2_URL[] = "https://%s/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?co_partnerId=2&siteid=0&UsingSSL=1";
static const char LOGIN_DATA[] = "refId=&regUrl=%s&MfcISAPICommand=SignInWelcome&bhid=DEF_CI&UsingSSL=1&inputversion=2&lse=false&lsv=&mid=%s&kgver=1&kgupg=1&kgstate=&omid=&hmid=&rhr=f&srt=%s&siteid=0&co_partnerId=2&ru=&pp=&pa1=&pa2=&pa3=&i1=-1&pageType=-1&rtmData=&usid=%s&afbpmName=sess1&kgct=&userid_otp=&sgnBt=Continue&otp=&keepMeSignInOption3=1&userid=%s&%s=%s&runId2=%s&%s=%s&pass=%s&keepMeSignInOption2=1&keepMeSignInOption=1";

Update. I found that building the current (2018 Apr 24) zip file snapshot, from the git tab, works fine on ebay.com but not ebay.ca. Give that a try and see if it fixes the problem you observed.
