Is ebay just trying to see how long it will take us to give up and stay in the new search forever? I can tell you that as it is now, I will NEVER search that way for everything I do. It is so sloooooowwwwwww I nearly fell asleep waiting for the page to load and it is frustrating beyond belief to not be able to search the regular way. So much so, that I now just do my research on Terapeak and forget about buying the 10 to 15 postcards a week I used to buy while researching here on ebay!...

When I have things listed I always do at least one Search by keywords by Best Match, just to see what crazy place Ebay has put them in. Did a search this morning and was very disappointed to see that a listing another seller put up with 6 days to go was ahead of my listings that end in 3 days. Only difference I could see was he had FREE shipping !! Well these are items I'd really prefer to sell and ship so I don't have to move them when I move this fall, so I went in and revised them all...

I collect a certain type of cookbook and I used to do searches on the words cookbook and cookbook. I found my first search for cookbook brought in 63 items, next it did cook book and brought in 65 items. This was the original 63 cookbook items plus two with titles as cookbook, so I had to scroll throgh the 63 items I had previously viewed. Now I know in the future for cookbooks, that I can type in the words cook book and get both wordings on my search - but how many times to you search for...

It's a step backward. I like to buy worldwide but e-Bay is trying to limit me to the US. For every item I want to do a worldwide search on I have to go to the advanced search each time. I used to just go once, check worldwide and i was done. I can't find anything anything and I was stumped about what to do. BUT, if I go in as a guest the search function works fine for a worldwide item search. Crazy!

I had always presumed that all search preferences were supposed to be saved on eBay servers, along with other profile information. Saving them to a local cookie would just be absurd. After all, eBay's most common solution is "clear your cookies". On top of that, there are dozens more reasons not to save preferences in a cookie. It just makes no sense. Now, I've had to wrestle again and again with changing my search sort display from best Match to ending Soonest. Not as much as some...

I sure there are many of you who use the compare option when searching for that perfect item you want. I need that option to narrow things down for me! I hope they return that opt back... its handy and didnt need to be taken out. Am i the only one who used it???

Jewelry According to My eBay, the listing has been active since Aug. 17, 18:48:50 PDT (6 days 16 hours left as of this posting. I went to the home page, and browsed down to jewelry in the aforementioned category. Two pages of items showed up, and my listing was not amongst them. NO visibility via browse! Its not like there were a ton of dragon jewelry items to look through either - 90 items total at the time of my browse-search. When I did this browse-search, my item had been...

OK, so who had the great idea to move pro audio to ELECTRONICS? Technically they are not music instruments, but they are included in the process. This makes searching longer and harder, and includes many things in a search that we don't need. PLEASE REVERT BACK

Which Search & Sort is picking my competitor's ads for my listings??? With eBay's new move to put active competitor listings on OUR ACTIVE LISTINGS, how is eBay going to determine what items are "related". Is eBay using old search, Findings 2.0, sorting via Best Match or how, are DSR's and shipping included in the sort matrix? Will the items be related to the search terms searched on, past buyer actions or something else altogether random like say, how much money buy.com is spending??...

I did a worldwide search and found an item I want from a seller in Germany (180277067399). The item is offered "worldwide" and I can view it via ebay.co,uk yet when I click on "seller's other items" nothing comes up, not even the auction I have just viewed. This also happens with US sellers. Or perhaps I am not selecting the correct option. Please advise.

I went to the last search I have found worthwhile - one long time seller with 1000 items with the intention of bidding on 10 or 20 items like I do every week. Search is now showing me only a listing with no preview. If I go to picture view it scatters pictures in two columns with no sense of order (I always search ending soonest). There is no opt out button top, bottom, left or right. If this is it I am through after 11 years on ebay - through as a seller, through as a buyer, through with...

I think we all need to realize that the new search is coming soon. It is live on the UK and Italy site now. I'd suggest that instead of starting 'new search sucks' threads with random, made up examples, (which I'm tired of) that we take the time to clearly state what is not working for us in the new search. For me there were two MAJOR flaws in the categories in my area (vinyl) that Marni got fixed and even it looks like the Buy it Now tab is coming back from her latest post. So despite...
