searching for new listings IS OVER?!
Summary: thaiducksalad expressed frustration over a missing listing date feature on eBay, impacting their long-term buying routine. gosimus and eastlaneave responded, noting it's a technical issue and suggesting they check if the problem has been resolved. thaiducksalad remains concerned it might be a new policy change.
Today is the worst day of my ebay buying life, which I have been doing since 1998. Every day for decades, I search certain keywords under new listings, and I stop my search when it goes to more than one day, as I search every day. Now the date of listing has DISAPPEARED. When I try to choose auction-only listings, after a few results of "new listings", there is a mix of listings from five days ago, three days ago, etc. I feel like I'm going to throw up. If this is new policy, sadly, my buying days on ebay are over.
