Hi,
the selenium module from the powershell gallery outdated is outdated.
Here is my method to use the latest selenium nuget version for a script with Chrome.
First load requiered assemblies

Some examples. Load the functions (i.e. copy & paste to the powershell window) then
PS D:\> mkdir MySeleniumProject PS D:\> cd D:\MySeleniumProject PS D:\MySeleniumProject> $WebDriver = Start-Browser Chrome PS D:\MySeleniumProject> $WebDriver.Url = "https://www.ebay.de"
Page reload
$WebDriver.navigate().refresh()
Get EBay price
$WebDriver.FindElements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::ClassName("x-price-primary")).FindElements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::TagName("span")).Text
Bit button
$WebDriver.FindElements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::XPath("//button[@data-elementid='MaxBidId']"))
$WebDriver.FindElements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::XPath("//button[@data-elementid='MaxBidId']")).Click()
Get price input span element
$WebDriver.FindElements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::XPath("//span[contains(@class,'textbox app-input-price__input textbox__empty')]"))
Get the input tag (child of span)
$InputTag=($WebDriver.FindElements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::XPath("//span[contains(@class,'textbox app-input-price__input textbox__empty')]"))).findelements([OpenQA.Selenium.By]::TagName("input"))
Send backspaces to delete input
for($i=12;$i -ge 0;$i--)
{
$InputTag.SendKeys([OpenQA.Selenium.Keys]::Backspace)
}
Send price
$InputTag.SendKeys("10,00")
