Auction search option "Search by most bids first" isn't working...again

[budawangs]

As a seller of collectables I constantly use this search to see what buyers are bidding on. 

Lots of bids means buyers want that item.

If I have the same item I will put it up for sale as it is likely it will sell as at that time it is wanted.

Knowing this obviously helps ebay too as the seller would expect the item to sell and hence ebay earns fees.

I realise this search option has disappeared in the past but always returned.

Ebay, can we have this search option returned again this time too please.  

Thanks

No matter what they say ebay don't read these boards - it's a placebo

I don't have the problem.    It's working for me.

Clear cookies and cache maybe?   Different browser?

Turn it off and on again, lol

And to add, it does not always mean lots of buyers want a certain item

In some cases, it simply means there is shill bidding happening

Shill bidding?

Heaven forfend!

[enigmabear]

I'm sure such things don't go on now 

[wide-world-of-stamps]

Of course not!

How could that happen? Surely Ebay wouldn't allow it!

Thanks for your help but it still doesn't work. In some places this option has gone.

I select...books and magazines, then antiquarian, then auction then most bids first as the option but it returns best match...same for fewest bids. The other options all work. And doing this method for other categories fails as well. Plus on other levels the most bids first is no longer an option. Oh well. Another way for ebay to lose sales (in my opinion)

I followed those instructions and what I got was 10 listings in Australia.

So mine works.

Problem is....most bids?      Not one bid on any of them.

Not sure a 1980 copy of The Glugs of Gosh is antiquarian though
