Search fail

[vanb]

Why is it that when I run a search, not all the items that meet that search show up?   I searched on

Parker Duofold rollerball

and auction 126671429904 didn't show up, although it has those three words in the listing title.

Also, is it no longer possible to contact eBay? There's no human chat, or even an email address for support, etc., that I can find.

I see that item when searching using those keywords. What sort order are you using?

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Parker+Duofold+rollerball&_sacat=0&_sop=10

With a price range to highlight that item:

When I take my car to the mechanic to fix that weird noise it's making, it naturally stops making any noise. 

Honest, the listing wasn't there, under either a time or price sort, the latter making it impossible to miss. But clicking on your link above, it shows up.  I shall attribute it to ePoltergeists, and thank you very much for the quick reply.

You are very welcome. It is possible that you were doing a different search -- perhaps sorting by "lowest first", which is known to provide filtered results -- and that is why the listing did not appear.
