How to search for an item in a category
For example if you are searching for an appliance part you can drill down to appliances to parts but when you search it goes back to searching the whole eBay site. You can drill all the way down to a specific brand even, but there's no way to search for the part you want. You have to search through thousands of parts. Why have the category feature if you cannot search within the category?

You should be able to search by entering your search keywords, searching, and then drilling down the category using the category tree on the left side of the search results. Then apply any category-specific filters.

OP11 months agoI agree. "You should be" is the issue. In any search category when you search in that category the search reverts to searching ll of eBay.

Mentor11 months agoIf you specify the category from the search results page you should be able to search any category.
If you change the order of operations, it does work. Keywords first, then category.
