Ebay app BROKEN Saved searches don't load android
 made the mistake of updating the app and now saved searches don't load...
Tried uninstalling it and a fresh install... No go. Anyone have a suggestion or have this problem. Rest of the app is fine.
Well except the new owners hating us and purposely breaking the search engine and causing sorting not to work. Like lowest to highest causing 90% of. The results to disappear... I so wonder how they think this WON'T kill ebay... Like brother you aren't Amazon people have to many 2nd hand shopping options... Writing all that whine might screw my chances of getting the cheesy answers (ha to have the pun... But seriously if cheesy also include a good non cheese too ðŸ˜)

OP8 months agoThank you for your time, reply and ways to work around this!!! I appreciate it!
Yup haved tried reporting this via the shake it for errors too... Forgot to say that 🙂
Sadly sorting highest to lowest also doesn't work.
Ebay sucks now because you can't without that sort working can't do a limit via price (as another work around) because they stopped including shipping in the calculation... So stupid... I don't understand higher ups killing this sinking company faster...

If a seller does not include a valid shipping method to your location, then shipping cannot be calculated, and the item cannot be sorted by price.
If you see many results that do not have shipping specified, be sure you have not inadvertently changed the location you use to calculate your shipping to somewhere most sellers do not ship to.

OP8 months agoHmmmm how is working for you?
I am looking at a ton of different things.
The latest is books and they all have the shipping rates shown... Is this what you mean?
The last search I did went from 600 to 18
So it's dropping free shipped items too.
Are you guys also missing your saved searches?

What is the 600 and what is the 18?
Perhaps if you can provide links to the actual searches you are doing that show those results I can see what is going on.

Try using a browser instead of the app to view your Saved Searches while you are waiting for eBay to address the problem with the app.
App issues can be reported to eBay by shaking your device while the app is active if you have that feature enabled.
The "Price plus shipping: lowest first" sort order does provide "streamlined" or filtered results, and in some cases the filtering is extreme (and likely unintended). That filtering can be avoided by using a different sort order, by choosing the "see more results" link if it appears at the top of the results, or by editing the search URL directly to disable the filtering (try adding "&_blrs=recall_filtering" to the end of the search URL).
One quick fix is to sort instead by "highest first", set a price range to limit the number of results, then jump to the end of the results and scroll up instead of down. This has the added benefit of forcing variation listings to sort by the highest-priced variation in your price range, thus avoiding many of the listings with the irrelevant 99-cent option that typically float to the top of most "lowest first" sorts.
