Search totally useless. No filters!

five_eyes — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 10:41:15 GMT

Since Tuesday my saved searches have been changed by Ebay and are now totally unuseable.

I have had the same saved parameters for years, the main one being ~ category; sub category; recently listed; located in Oz;

My initial search page has now changed from recently listed to best match.

All the filters which used to be on the left hand side are gone!

The only things I can change are either "sort order" or "view gallery / list".

Whichever one I change make the other one vanish.

It is impossible to select a "location" as it is just not there no matter what I try to select.

My Ebay buying is about 15% of what it was a couple of years ago, which from now will be 2/5 of a third of bugga all.

Probably a good thing for me after all, but not for those sellers who have something I may want, yet miss out due to me not being able to find their listings.

Searching with keywords, or just browsing?

What browser are you using? Latest version?

Any difference if you use another browser? Or disable add-ons?

Or if you go to the Advanced Search page and select your filter options there?

Yep agree.

I use to pick a category and the "ending soon" and then "auction" and finally "Australia only" to see what was selling there and then and see if I could snag a bargain.

No longer. eBay has gone for me. They have lost the plot.....

My saved searches are still there for me.

So are the filters on the left.

Have you tried minimising the page - it maybe that you have the % set too high for the page.

After 2 weeks of Ebay being unusable all back to normal today...

Wonder how long before the next snafu.
