Ebay really sucking....

Hmmm. I am trying to search for decking footings. Ebay keeps changing my search to decking fittings. If I wanted fittings I'd freaking search for fittings instead of footings. Deck Stumps gets changed to deck stamps!!!! STOP IT! I KNOW WHAT I WANT!!!


 


Very frustrating...

 "0 results found for decking footings, so we searched for decking fittings"


 


There are no listings for decking footings



 


That's what I got when i tried it - the spelling didn't change as a typed. I wonder if the OP was using an ipad, the auto correct on mine does horrible things to my spelling.

Use Google - you might be surprised by what you find:|

Hit the Space Bar before you hit Enter


That seems to stop the auto generated word search from entering other options in the field

I don't use nor own any i-gadgets or smart phones, I only access ebay with a real computer (desktop or laptop) and the problem remains

What exactly are you trying to find? Aren't footings the hole you fill with concrete to support the posts which hold up the decking? I don't think there is any such thing as a "decking footing".


 


Are you looking for post supports (sometimes called stirrups)?

ebay has done that to me also.. It didn't change the letters as I was typing but it changed them right after I hit Search.. Tried to search for Puggles (small beanie type toy) and it got changed to puzzles.

I am no builder but I think the footings are the metal things that stick out of the concrete to support the deck

Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
