Search automatically edits itself to the wrong thing
When I try to search for “skims,†the edit automatically makes my search for skims AND skis. Then when I try to search newly listed, it changes to ONLY “skis.†It used to not do this. Is there any way around this?

Mentor3 years agoIf a search that has worked well previously suddenly starts behaving badly, often the problem has something to do with a faulty keyword substitution or an inappropriate automatic category navigation issue.
You can bypass many of these sorts of search issues by putting one of your keywords in quotes. This forces eBay to bypass the "smart" features and to search for the literal keywords without any substitution or category switching. You may have to manually specify your category once again.
Using a desktop browser, find the "Feedback" icon that appears in the lower right corner of the search results page to let eBay page developers know about your search issues.
