Background & analysis
According to a report from The Verge on November 11, 2026, eBay appears to have blocked AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from browsing on the platform, which The Verge described as the latest speed bump in the AI agent race. A reader told The Verge that for several weeks he had been using his Muse agent to browse platforms like eBay and curate a daily digest of watches listed for sale, and that this workflow has now been interrupted. The incident is documented so far through the reader's account and The Verge's reporting; the outlet's phrasing leaves the nature of the change unconfirmed, and no public statement has been made on the matter, so the reasons behind the block have not been established.
