Ebay search terms not working - is it me?!

Norma_Desmond

For the past week or so I can't refine my Ebay searches; the sections where you can choose new/used/UK only etc. just don't work when I click on them.

Any ideas? I know Ebay is constantly faffing around with, er sorry improving (;)) the site so could it be a glitch?

............or could someone kind please tell me how to move this to the 'tech' board?

ebay and paypal are both very glitchy the last week or so.

give it a few days and see if it works again. i bought something earlier and was getting an error when i tried to check out, now it works fine.

Ebay have implimented a new search system in some areas, it appears to be on a trial basis and another of their disasters.

My search has now reverted back to the old system and I can now access and search normally. Couldn't even log on with the trial ongoing.

I'm still having trouble; if it is a browser problem what do I do?

Use a different browser.

Internet explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and many more to choose from.


Got an example of what is not working?

I'm using Internet Explorer at the mo' - and always have done as far as I know (Luddite I'm afraid!)

None of the specific search options work; I used to click on UK only/used items but now I can't filter out the millions of Chinese listings.

Example???

Maybe its only on category or something?

Chinese sellers saying they are posting from the UK?

It works well for me, except that the results are still all over th eplace (as I mentioned a few weeks back)

I can do a search with three keywords and get say 5000 results, I reduce that search by limiting it to say free postage and the number of returned items increases- that is nonsense.

I can also search once and get virtually no returns, just a few hundred, then 5 minutes later the same search with the same criteria shows thousands and thosands of results.

I wish ebay would sort out some of its glitches.

Just an update - everything seems to be working again now when I logged in this morning; I can actually filter the search results!

Mind you, I keep getting a little pop up box asking for my postcode..........aww well I can live with that for a while.

Stop fiddling about Ebay!
