Only on eBay

Searched for golf items and it's pointless searching via the Golf category,(every once in a while I'll search

 

through an entire category).

 

If you search via the Shop by category you can only search 25 items at a time,(so instead of 200 items and

 

scrolling through them you have to check 25 items and then forward to the next 25 items 7 times).

 

Which is more time consuming and very frustrating but gave me 85,396 results.

 

I gave up after doing it twice and looked for a better option.

 

So I just put in golf as a key word and selected sport and got 118,252 results,(but I can search with 200 per

 

page).

 

Then when I got to page 50 it said:

 

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

 

That's searching on eBay and they wonder why some buyer don't shop here.

 

So once again I had to find another option,(checked the price on the last item on page 49 and then did a

 

search for items with that as the lowest price).

 

Have that set as a saved search so I'll try again tomorrow,(I'm bored so heading out for a meal at the club).good.gif

Is this your new ebay shopping experience?

 

Try hitting  'just view search results'.  Then you can change it to 200 per page and save

Where is that box please?give_rose.gif

 

When searching by category and selecting golf I only have:

 

Golf 1.PNG

 

And the rest of the page to the start of the listings:

 

Save as golf 2.PNG

Tazz, I didn't select a category, but left it 'all categories'  typed in 'golf'  and I got this page

Re: Only on eBay

That's similar to the search I did after that stupid shop by category only giving me the 25 listings.

 

I just typed in golf and selected Sporting Goods.

 

 

Even after using your link I didn't get the page with Welcome to the new eBay experience,(so it's probably

 

another thing that only comes up now and then or for some other reason),Who knows.gif

 

I just find it stupid that they have the Shop by category with such a limited search,(seeing as that's what a

 

number of buyer might use as it's the first search option they see),shok.gif

 

It's not giving buyers a good first experience if they use that limited search,(narrowing the search parameters

 

would might give buyers a shorter list but they will still only be able to search 25 listings at a time),stubborn_smiley_by_mirz123-d4bt0te_zps12f1a5a3.gif

Re: Only on eBay

I search using all categories in case a noob someone has put it in the wrong category.

 

Can pick up some bargains that way.

 

I might double check with the particular category sometimes.

I've been searching and there are quite a few items listed in my search that have nothing to with golf,tease.gif

 

I bought something the other day that had the word golf spelt wrong,(might've been why it was the cheapest

 

of it's type),shok.gif

 

I'm $25 short of being able to use the $20 voucher so I'm looking at what else I "might" need,(I've had the

 

other $75 worth sitting in my watch list to buy so might as well get something else for $5 after using the

 

voucher),good.gif

Was it Gof - and someone belted the 'ell out of it?

 

Have you been to Bothwell in Tassie?   Oldest golf course in the Southern

Hemisphere (est 1825)

 

They have a museum of all things golf there.

Not being golfy, I found it boring.
