Do a simple search for anything.. Water bottle, etc, anything.. now remember the first couple you see at the top of the page.. OK, now go to the bottom of the page, and remember the last couple on the first page.. NOW, go to any other page of listings at the bottom, 1,2,3,4,5, etc. You will see the exact same results you saw on the first page, doesnt matter if you go to page 300.. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. what a joke.

This is why your sales are horrible, nobody is seeing your listings.

Because I was pricing some stuff, here's the results from the bottom of pages 1, 3 and 5 for the search "wild republic plush seal"
Not a single one of them is the same.

ok, it may not be doing it for that listing, but try water bottle? and give me your page results on that search.

So, I posted about this last week and thought I tagged the eBay reps on the forum. Anyone know how to do this?? We need help on this big time! Please fix the search function!

(sigh) Jewelry sellers begged them to unscramble the search until we found out "it's not a bug, it's a new feature" and we had to give up. They were implementing a new, unrequested, authentication service and threw the vast majority of sellers under the bus to do it. One major reason I quit selling. Odds are the wall you're banging your head one is solid stone.

Multiple people have reported this issue with multiple browsers and various key word searches. Pictures for example here:

Yup
Rockstarflipper and My Boring Reseller Life dropped major videos today showing how terrible and broken ebay search is.
Ebay, come on, get your act together. Search has not been working well for YEARS. Google produces better results than the ebay search - for YEARS now.
All of you saying its the sellers, please apologize. Its the ebay site. Their search is not working. Its big time broken. Just admit it and Ebay, fix it. Its driving buyers away and killing the bottom line for sellers and therefore, ebay itself. Get it working for the site's sake if you don't care about the sellers.

Yes, yes, eBay also wants to fix it, but unfortunately they don't have a clue where to start.
They are all in over their heads.
eBay is severely lack of talents.

@rugerskick I posted a youtube video on the 6th addressing this issue but I'm small potatoes so under 200 folks have seen it. I've filed a support ticket and we need to ride eBay about this.
