ankspon

Works fine for me

Thats the problem its very random so no one is totally safe today. If buyers cannot see your items then you can;t sell.

I would be more shocked if you had posted that Ebay search was working correctly !!

This is not an unusual glitch, I have posted about it before with very few people agreeing with me, it's the old 'turned off' conspiracy.

I regularly browse for goods on one device and when i recheck later on a different one I can have 10x more results for the same search words.

I haven't noticed any real problems here, but of course I wouldn't as I don't know what the search isn't showing me! I have made sales this morning so some people are finding my goods.

This may appear to be one of the usual glitches to you, but previously every time things have slackened off and turned off being mentioned here and on other sites, I've done basic searches on mine and my competitors items and found them all listed but today , no matter what I search for on Internet Explorer all searches result show as zero results (ie nothing listed!). However my google chrome searches are fine!

So basically, if I want to search and buy someing and am using internet explorer, I cannot unless I've previously saved the listing.

Thats my point. All the free listings are ending today so lots of people, including me, have been stitched up.

And its still not been fixed

That is not unusual for me but today it is fine as far as I can tell doing some test searches on my own goods as a guest. I'm obviously in a different dimension!

Lucky you.

I've had several bits end which would normally have made a few sales today and are now ended.

Getting to grips with this pattern although I dont like it. But I've just done yet another search and and zero listings no matter what I search for - nothing is available for sale on ebay today via internet explorer!

Doesn't matter whether I search collectables, hair grips, medals, body butter etc etc. Internet explorer are showing no results!

I'll do a proper trial then.

I'm on IE and I'll do a search fpr (um).....tape measure.
result 30,083 on ebay uk

DVD- 1,998,104

mug - 520,699

Can someone else do a search and see what they get? Meanwhile I will try on another device and see what the results are.
