Advanced search not working.

[grumpy*cat*rocks]

Has anyone else had any issues with the Advanced Search function not working.

I get to the page and for example, try to do a search by bidder and all that comes up is this screen.

Have tried another browser, another computer, logged in, logged out etc to no avail.

Nothing appears to be amiss according to ebay either.

Except according to the eBay posting guidelines, it is not permitted to post item numbers.

And yes, I know that many people do it, but doing so can lead to a slap.

I think it's only against guidelines if you post an item number in the title of a thread.

It is the title only 🙂

which might be why some are removed, but others not:

posting violation

• "In the title of a threaded discussion: Posting user ID's in a derogatory manner, posting URLs, item numbers, or web sites, or violating any other board posting policy."

Well that's handy to know, but I wonder why the distinction?

One of the many delightful quirks of the system 🙂

Search by bidder was handy if a buyer was slow to pay and you could check their bidding history and see they had been buying up a storm and not likely they were going to be able to pay for all the items.
