Antiquarian books search

When I select Antiquatian books and apply filters, the search no longer works.  For example, I select year, binding, and subject, and instead of listing books that meet the parameters like it has been for years, it now only lists eBay stores.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Antiquarian books search

They keep working the search engine to maximize impulse sales.

Use the filters available, be specifiec, and don't be afraid to use limits like in the old days of searching. 

keyword, -keyword  

Separate the keywords with a comma and space, then use a minus sign without a space next to the keyword you want to eliminate.  Spelling counts.

Antiquarian books search

My searches of 30 years are now wrecked. I cant even look for books anymore. I cant seperate new listings from 16000+ pile of books listed. My "listed within 24 hrs " perameter is gone and I have no way to bring it back. I will not look at the same listings every day over and over. Ebay has ended my book buying

If you got thirty years of searching out of the same searches, you did pretty well.

 

I had to redo all my bookmarked searches in 2012 when eBay changed the search syntax and did away with wildcard searches. And many searches needed to be redone when eBay reorganized various categories. Searches do not work forever.

 

What search are you trying to do that is not working for you now? It might be worth creating some new searches.
