Ebay search with photos

[ebeths_eclectic_collectibles]

Anyone else notice that eBay search with a photo is not working.  Upoad a photo and the search results are coming up completely off base or irrelevant

That's true of ALL searches on Ebay.

Text searches are way off too.

I'm not sure the photo search has EVER worked, actually.

Try sorting your results by "Best Match".

Add me to the list of sellers who have found it never worked.

It usually works quite well as a tool to identify an item or figure out pricing. I just tried with a photo of vintage glass punch bowl based and the results were mostly for vegetable seeds. First result a green bell pepper.

If you are already using "Best Match", try changing to a different sort order, and then change back to "Best Match" to see if that makes any difference in the results you see.
