Some ideas:
- it is probably __NOT__ WGET that steals ca 90% of content
- eBay maybe explicitly supports Chrome ("Best viewed in any
  browser as long as it is the latest version of Chrome or IE")
- user agent (try to set it to Chrome's value)
- JawaScript (little to do, the extension can do
  much JawaScript magic that WGET obviously can't)
