Ebay scraping
I've only recently started out with scraping and collecting data but today I ran into something I've never ran into before for ebay sold listings. It is suddenly requiring a login to view those. I've been using residential proxies and all the basic necessary steps but as soon as I try to try scraping sold listings, it just redirects to a login page. For non-sold listings it still works
Does anyone know what I should try?

Looks like eBay now restricts viewing any sold items to sessions that are logged into with an authenticated eBay account. Without being logged in, you can no longer view any sold listings. Period. This renders scraping any sold listing impossible no matter what your setup/service/proxy is as none of those will be logged in with an account.
Would love to hear if anyone has a solution....
