Ok so today searching stuff I noticed the default search has changed. It used to be best match now every time I search I am presented with newly listed items. Is everybody else the same. I usually search lowest price + postage so it's nothing I have set.

This is going to be bad for sales also. Most buyers only search the first few pages of listings so what happens to all those old listings they will never get seen. At least with best match you had some chance of your items up the list even older ones.
