Saved searches keep defaulting to â€œContemporary Manufacturerâ€ category | Mobile Apps

When I create a saved search, I put in any filters that I want to use, select â€œAll categoriesâ€ and save the search. When I go back in to view the items, it keeps defaulting to â€œContemporary Manufacturerâ€ as the category. This means that items within my search perimeters are not showing up for me if they have not been listed using this sub-category. This means that I have missed out on the chance to buy items that I was searching for, as they arenâ€™t showing up in my saved searches list on the eBay app. I only discovered this by chance today, as I received an email notification from a saved search, but couldnâ€™t find the item when I clicked on the saved search as it wasnâ€™t visible. By the time that I had realised why I couldnâ€™t see the item - which wasnâ€™t listed in the sub category - the item had sold. Is there any way to force the saved searches to remain in â€œAll categoriesâ€ without it defaulting back to the â€œContemporary Manufacturerâ€ sub-category? This only happens when I add in a saved search using the app, as when I create one using the website, it remains in â€œAll categoriesâ€. I am using iOS 17.6.1 and the latest iOS eBay app 6.172.0.
