Is your ebay search screwed too?

BobbyR · Jul 15, 2008

I just discovered the rather than be able to log into may favorite place ebay search starting page, click on Leica, (or any make) and then go to the sub-categories often highligted under the search box; NOW there is a general 35mm film camera category and one has to wade through and type (hopng the far from selective ebay search finds what you want) a lot wasted words to get what used to take less than a minute.

Progress, a cancer that kills.

Have you noticed this?

I think this is what they call their "new search experience". If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there should be a small, text hyperlink, to take you back to the original. Though how long this will last I do not know, the new search certainly does not seem to have been popular!

Complain, contact Support, they did the same recently in the UK, (Ebay.co.uk).

I had a pertinent, personal reply from Ebay support, and later followed that up with further comments. They have changed the system, and while it's not the same it's vastly improved and almost as good as before. It might be better still but its evolving.

Over the past few years I have found that if you complain and give examples of what's wrong they do listen, and the responses are from people that can do something.

yes they tried it out on some european countries first and now its gone live in the UK. Its far slower to use than it was before and some search criteria don't seem to work like they did before. A real PITA.
