More site stupidity

[go-tazz]

I'll generally search through a sellers listings if I've bought something from them before or have something in

the cart,(so it's easier to get it combined maybe).

Did a search this morning and skipped past a number of pages of low price items and got to page 50,(I search

200 listings at a time).

So all up might have searched 1000 listings from this seller but then get a warning up that I can't search further

We're unable to show you more than 10,000 results. Please refine your search to narrow your results.

I'm not searching for anything in particular but just this sellers listings and this stupid site has stopped me from

doing so before I've even searched 1200 results,

Just tried it by not looking at any listings and just go to the end of each page and selecting the last number to

go 4 pages forward each time and got the same warning,(so I can only look at 12% or 24% of the sellers listings,

if I change the search parameters).

So what's the point of having a favourite sellers search if you can't search all their listings?

So if you are a high volume seller and your sales have dropped for some reason,guess what eBay could be

the one to blame again,

Taz, this seller has nearly 8,000,000 listings and the same thing happens there, they also have a lot more than 10,000 items in all categories, which would make it impossible to do a full search even by category.

That stupidity has been around for a very long time now and isn't at all a new thing.

Padi, if you are going to buy from that seller make sure you search for the particular item in a general search.  They can be very pricy at times.

Having said that I have just bought 2 DVD sets from them as they were the cheapest for the particular sets but at the same time I looked at some stickers....they wanted $17 or thereabouts for stickers that were available for $5-$6 from other sellers.

Nah, I won't be buying from them lyndal, it was just a seller that I found had a lot of listings. I've bought from them in the past but their postage times and prices can be a putoff, along with fb...............

They are my favourite seller on all of eBay... 

Never bought from them, but they charge 10 times more than I do for the stuff I stock. 

I also noticed that they list the name of the seller as a brand when listing other people's items with their photos.

I've done similar searches in the past and can't remember coming accross it before.

Regardless if it has been around for a while it still makes a mockery of the saved sellers search,(because you

can't search for all their items).

She's right,there is a work around.

I just put in the price of the last listing in the first price box at the side of the search,(I can then just keep doing

it until it stops me again and then put that price in,etc,etc),

I have a box of golf balls in my watch list because of what I consider the worst seller I've ever come across,(the

price for 12 balls is: $954.95,which makes them the most expensive balls for sale ever at over $79 each).

You can get a dozen top quality/brand golf balls for $70

They will not take any notice of questions in regards as to why and will simply state that it's their price and they

wont change it.

I've also come across your seller for similar reasons,(their items are always the most expensive in any search).

I've been thinking of reporting them at some stage because most of their items are ludicrously priced and

should never sell.

The report wouldn't go to eBay as the only thing that I can think of that those type of over priced items could

be a cover for is money laundering,(nothing else makes sense especially when some standard items are over

ten times the price).

No seller would make such a mistake deliberately to "sell" an item.
