I collect old car number plates. just doing a search on "number plate" brings up thousands of results - number plate frames, screws, lights, brackets, etc.
So, on my personal user-name, I did a search excluding most of the terms that aren't relevant to what I'm actually looking for, and saved it. No problem!
Decided to save the same search on this user-name - and it doesn't work.
The Saved Search that's working under my personal user-name looks like this: number plate -led -cover -surround -usa -light -holders -mount -mounting -frame -frames -trim -bolts -screws -garnish -covers -light -lights -lamp -holder -bracket
The same search saved under this user-name looks like this: number+plate+-led+-cover+-surround+-usa+-light+-holders+-mount+-mounting+-frame+-frames+-trim+-bolts+-screws+-garnish+-covers+-light+-lights+-lamp+-holder+-bracket
For some unknown reason, eBay has decided to include the "+" symbol between each term - the effect being that it negates the "-" symbol, and searches on the precise terms I've told it to exclude...
I've since added a couple more exclusion terms to my original Saved Search, and saved that as a new search, and it's inserting the "+" symbol. I tried saving a different search under my personal user-name, and that's doing it, too.
Anyone else struck this?
Here are the two Saved Searches in my personal account - the original one (top) is fine, the new one (lower) is borked...
