Searching for a specific item without all the clutter.
Searching for a specific item use to be fairly easy, now you get all king of clutter and even when you jump through all the hoops you still get clutter. How do you find anything on here now???

Mentor3 years agoWhat are you searching for?
If 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.
