Search preferences are not saved in-between searches on eBay App

[lizzymcbee]

I am running the latest version of IOS and the latest version of the eBay application.

When I search for items to sell on eBay, I often want to see for how much and if an item does sell. Say that I'm at an estate sale and I see an old Nikon lens. If I search for it on eBay using the app, I enter the search term and search. The results start populating on my screen but I have to then filter the search for items that have sold and then again for the highest priced items to appear first. That is three different searches just for one item. 

Then if I search for a second lens from Minolta, my previous search preferences are not used and again I have to search three times as I again narrow the search to sold items and highest priced items first. 

It is frustrating and didn't work like this in previous versions (many versions ago) of the eBay app. Does anyone have a solution for me? How can I search using the eBay app without having to conduct three searches for each item? And condutivity at the estate sale can be poor making this all the more time consuming and difficult.

Thanks,

Peter
