Search Sold items ERROR

[miss_misc_me]

One of the issues I’ve been having since the last update - has been when I go to search sold items on eBay - wrong results pop up - (This happens both on the App & Website) 

One of the many examples I’ve had problems with: I’ve attempted to search sold California Raisins LOT - sorted by highest price.  As you can see by the photo attached the results are wacky!

Please fix. Thank you!!

This appears to be a problem with eBay's search rather than a problem with the app specifically, as you indicated it seems to happen using a web browser as well. This has been going on for over a month, and certain categories or keywords seem to be particularly troublesome, possibly due to ongoing category reorganization.

For some searches, it appears that eBay is making inappropriate keyword substitutions. To prevent this from occurring in your search, you can try putting one of your search terms in quotes (like: "this"), or else adding a nonsense exclusion term.

See this thread for some examples:

In your particular case, try these search terms:
