I noticed that also, then I figured out the hack to stop that. As an example you were looking in the postcard category of collectibles. You wanted to see all baseball postcards, including that word in the description. The box to check in the description no longer appears for the initial search so you type in 'baseball' and get all of the postcards with that word in the title. Once the results appear, then the box to check within the description appears. As you said 'all categories' appears in the box in the upper right. If you click on that box you will see your original search above 'all categories'. In this case you will see 'collectibles' with the sub category 'postcards' above it. Click on postcards, check the description box, and you will search just that category.

Weird. It still is not appearing. I've tried it here at work both yesterday and today, as well as with my personal device at home late last night. I have drilled down to "Baseball Trading Cards", and entered my search criteria.

This is the URL:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...tor&_sacat=213

... and this is what I see:

Really frustrating, as I don't have the time to try and find new items in every category. It doesn't matter what level I do the search in. Notice there is not even a count on the number of items my search returned.

Sometimes changing a browser can give Ebay a different look.

Try clearing your browsers cache that might fix the problem...

I've noticed all the left side options are no longer there either. Choosing originals, reprints, sold items, PSA, new, used, etc, etc, etc?
Hopefully this isn't the new ebay?

I regularly cleaned, scan and reboot my computer so I don't think it has anything to do with updates or junk on my computer.

That's a good bit of advice (thank you), so I tried it. I was using Chrome. However, using Edge yields the same results. I now get "Price Grouping" type options at the top (which I don't recall seeing before), and not the drop down box I'm looking for. You’ll see on my screen capture three “buttons” breaking down the display by prices “Under $35”, $35-$7,500”, and “Over $7,500”.

My guess is this is a new release, but strange not all of us are getting it. If I run eBay.ca (for us Canadians), the old user interface is still there. Not the solution I was looking for, as some seller’s items do not show up there.
