limits on viewing listings from price lowest to highest

[rainningnight789]

Hi All, been puzzled when ever I switched 'sort' from ending soonest to price lowest, I would be limited to total viewing of 160 items then the total listings. What happened? I can't find anywhere in settings to remedy the situation.

You are correct, that the "sort" features are supposed to display the same products in a different order.  Nobody knows why this is happening with the lowest to highest sort, there is only speculation.  Of course, it could be a long lasting glitch, or could be intentional in that eBay stands to make less money should lower priced items be displayed and sold instead, so they choose not to show them.  

Someone suggested to choose "highest first" and start at the last page.

The "Price plus shipping: lowest first" sort order has long provided filtered results -- but lately the results are often drastically filtered, at least for certain keywords. And the option to "see more results" may not always be shown as it should.

Possibly the issue is two or more "smart" search features interacting in an unexpected manner.

If you encounter a drastically filtered result for a keyword search using a desktop browser, you should be able to use the "Feedback" link in the lower right corner of the search results to provide feedback on your search to eBay developers. The more users provide info, the more likely something is to be done about the over-filtration problem.

You can avoid that problem entirely by using a different sort order.

If you have a bookmarked or saved lowest-first search that you use a lot, you can avoid the filtration by adding the following to the end of the search URL, then saving the resulting search:

Yes, this is EXTREMELY annoying, also not showing filters.  This has been going on for years.
