Title: what the hell has happened to ebay?
Description: misc problems

well i'm usually a mild mannered person but frankly in the last couple of days ebay has really cheesed me off, well here are the reasons
1. the new search function is about as useful as a chocolate teapot, its got a mind of its own and shows you the results that it wants to
2. where has the imperial guard section gone in warhammer 40k, i click to link to it and get no results
3. if you search imperial guard throught the whole of ebay then you still get no results
4. any search that you do seems somehow to redirect straight to the ebay shops section and list all the stuff that they have on offer and not the items that are placed by regular sellers
5. its now really slow, though that could be down to my new livebox from orange (upgrade my chuddy, pigeons are faster than my internet connection at the mo)

sorry to have a rant but i'm a little unhappy, ebay have bought in this new search function to make everyones lives easier but seem to have biased it for searches to go to shop listings which i personally reckon is due to ebay express going under and to keep shop holders happy,

hope this is not just me, if anyone else has had problems and has a way to overcome them then please let us know

cheers crassius47(quietly shaking in the corner)

Didn't e-bay all but announce that the new search function would be doing this awhile back...?

Either way, I haven't used it in months. Craigslist is my friend these days.

the search functions have been up the spout recently, software problems

at least it not just me having the problems, i'm just off to have another look on ebay, if anybody in essex hears an anguished scream tonight it will be me going postal :)
