Has eBay gone doo-lally?

What's happened to eBay?
Been looking to buy a Baby gift and there are usually pages and pages of stuff but not now - just 2!
Have looked several times in different sections but the same thing, a couple of pages and that's it.
Has anyone else noticed or know what's going on?

What is the search term you are using and I will see what it gives me.

Just looked for same thing on my tablet and it's back to normal
Was having the problem on desktop. (Not checked back yet)

I know it's a CS response, but have you tried clearing your cookies/cache and trying again on the desktop?

Still the same problem on my desktop. Last night only showing 1page (baby nappy cakes) - all categories. Bit better on tablet but only showing small section of items.

I searched BABY NAPPY CAKES in ALL CATEGORIES and got 54. But it had defaulted to BABY SHOWERS category without me changing anything (just logged in). I had to reset it to ALL CATEGORIES and it showed 222.

Seems like we are getting the new enhanced selling pages.

Wouldn't you think "all categories" would bring up more items then individual categories?

If it is a new page format it's really annoying as you are missing loads of stuff you could be buying unless you searched in all possible sections.

Thanks anyway for trying to sort this out for me

Just searched that term on eBay app on phone and got over 1800 results.

Yes but I think the original search on ALL CATEGORIES is defaulting to one it decides is best on the results page.

When I search I get thousands and thousands of results

Yes that's what I used to get (point of my original post) but now am only getting one or two pages.
I got just one page yesterday stating 67 items but when I counted them there was only 35.
Things do seem to be getting a bit better today so hopefully it will be back as it was soon!
