Mentor2 years agoThe Advanced Search page is still there, but see no easy way to get to it like before.

Mentor2 years agoWonder if it depends on the device and/or browser.
I am still seeing it.
Clicked on the Ebay logo at top of page.
Using a Windows laptop, Firefox browser.

Mentor2 years agoI am using the latest Firefox with windows, so not sure what is going on.
@eburtonlab Any ideas here?

Mentor2 years agoI just updated to the latest version of Firefox, and I now see a newer page design. The search button has been replaced by a round blue button with a magnifying glass icon. The Advanced link still appears to the right, though I can make it disappear by increasing page magnification (or changing the window size or screen resolution).
If I make the window small enough, the Advanced link goes away:
Reducing the zoom level brings the Advanced link back for me.

I have the latest Firefox, still seeing the "regular" page.

Possibly eBay is testing something and different accounts are seeing different page formats, or else existing cache or cookies are altering what each user sees. You may not see the new format until you sign out and sign back in, update or erase your current eBay cookies, or restart your browser.

Mentor2 years ago@eburtonlab Appears some pages show the original rectangle search box with the advanced option and others show the rectangle or oval without it. Zooming in/out didn't reveal it either and I don't see just the little round search button your screen shot shows.
Wish ebay would either leave working things alone or at least make some effort to test them before going live.

So far the only page I have found with the original rectangular button format is the message inbox page when using the "Classic" message format. And the Feed page.
Zooming in/out didn't reveal it either and I don't see just the little round search button your screen shot shows.
If I zoom out far enough using a maximum screen size so the text gets very small, I see the Advanced link along with the rounded "search" button and the category display. As I zoom in and keep zooming, the Advanced link disappears, then the category display disappears, and eventually the blue "search" button becomes a blue circle with a magnifying glass icon.

I can see it to the right of the big blue search button.

Mentor2 years agoIt is gone from my page as well and has a new look altogether with no category drop down either:
