items finishing soon

Whenever I have a few spare minutes, I'd like to look at a list of items in all categories that are finishing soon. I have tried to do this with various searches but usually get a message saying "your request returned too many items please refine your search" but I don't want to refine the search to specific categories

Is there an obvious way that I haven't thought of?

I seem to remember reading about a dedicated web site for this but can't find it. Does anybody have details please?

Many thanks

    Thanks, but again you have to specify a category. I really wanted to look at items in all categories in the hope that I find a bargain of a lifetime that I didn't know I wanted!

    i think the problem you have encountered is due to

    the going, going gone section , listing all objects due to finish in the next 12 hours, this is obviously trying to show you a list that is humongous

    can you not specify say those items finishing in the next 2 hours by using the advanced search options?
    smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to.... ;) :cool:

    Can't you just open a loada windows and keep looking through them all? I do this all the timeas I am impatient, when one item is loading in or going to the next page I flick over to others!

    on your ebay search key in 'brand new' this brings up everything finishing in less than a minute loads of pages. Most titles on ebay feature the words 'brand new' try it and you will be surprised
