ebay search function has imploded

[npa589]

I have noticed that too. I used to be able to utilize parentheses, commas, etc - but it is consistently ignoring my search parameters.

This has been a long time problem for me.

ted lilly psa = 1600+ results

ted lilly "psa" = 8 results

ted "lilly" psa = 8 results

Go figure.

Recently started changing my foxx psa (200 results)
Over to fox psa (thousands and thousands of results)
- I know .. not the end of the world ,
but really don’t need auto correct from eBay

I did finally use that annoying feedback box That gets in the way

I noticed on the eBay App they also changed the "find" functionality on the Purchases Screen, such that any item that was purchased as part of the same invoice (i.e. combined shipping for multiple items) will also show up on your search. For example if you won 20 different T206's from the same seller and paid via one invoice and then wanted to search for "Cobb" to reference just that card, all 20 would show up on your screen not just the Cobb. Not a deal breaker but also not in the spirit of how and why I would use the "find" function in the first place.

I find eBay going downhill in several ways. First, far less of the things we all like to collect, not just cards, and far more recent and reprint junk. Second, and I think because of the fact that there is only so much old stuff and the way eBay fees, sellers aren't listing the way they once did. Third, eBay is constantly tinkering with their site, including how you can search.

It has been bad for a while...most of my searches are ok...but for some reason when I search for anything related to the Marx Brothers I get a ton of irrelevant items. I simply search "Groucho Marx" or "Harpo Marx" or will include "Signed" or "Autograph" with it...it is terrible

I think the Marx Brothers would love the fact their searches are chaos but I dont like it...have to wade through 100s of irrelevant items
