Ebay searching

andyp

Is it just me or has the latest improvements to Ebay's searching software led to a large, regressive step backwards in the ability to find what you're after?

I've just done a search for Campagnolo Delta and rather than the 4 or 5 items it used to throw up it's come up with 482 in the UK alone. :roll:

It's all done to improve the buying experience, like chopping feedback for buyers, reducing listing fees whilst hiking selling fees sky-high, banning Google Checkout and always finding in the buyers' favour in Paypal disputes.

I haven't been on eBay for a while but there's been a few complaints on the model aircraft forum I use. Apparently there are ways of getting round it.

See http://www.rcmf.co.uk/4um/index.php/topic,52584.0.html for what's been said there.

I wish they'd stop messing about with it, you don't always have time to get used to new layouts.

Hmmm, I've a stack of books, cycling jerseys, CDs and other odds & ends I want to get rid of. Maybe just them at the local charity shop is going to be less hassle.

Hmm, ebay can be a god send, just managed to get a nice frame, wheel set and some other bits and bobs for very little money. Although I agree it can be hard work tracking down exactly what you're after at times.

Dunno where I'd be without eBay (probably a bit richer but there you go) Never had a problem with any seller and have actually found out that there are indeed some really nice, genuine people out there. Nigerian Princes excepted of course. :roll:
