My Ebay.com search has not been working for a few days now yet Ebay.ca is still working! The option to search for Highest Prices,Lowest Prices ect has not been working at all for the last few days and now i cannot search completed items at all even though i am signed in to my account. If i go on Ebay.ca (Ebay Canada) everything still works perfectly buy not Ebay.com! It's very annoying to say the least because as an Ebay seller i always use the USA .com Ebay.
Anyone else having this problem??

At least a couple of people have mentioned similar issues recently:
It's not clear what the problem ultimately is/was, but clearing your browser cache is a good place to start. It's possible that eBay has made or is making changes to some of the search pages, and it's possible that the changes cause a conflict with some folks' cached data or cookies. If clearing those doesn't help, try a private browser window or another browser altogether as a temporary workaround, if that helps. Or use ebay.ca instead for a while.
Search menus seem to be working fine for me using Firefox, Edge and Chrome.

I tried Firefox,Google Chrome and all that other craziness before and i will never go back to using them ever again no matter what.... I prefer Internet Explorer
I deleted cookies, cached data ect... Did absolutley nothing at all. Ebay.ca is not a good option because alot of items do not show up on Ebay.ca
Thanks regardless!

Search under completed items is working now BUT i can't see the pictures of the items on my WATCHING LIST on either Ebay.com OR Ebay.ca .... Ebay keeps playing around and they do more harm than good!

Even Microsoft considers IE dead and buried, so your expectations that eBay support it are are unrealistic.
(I'm a steadfast user of really old Firefox versions and understand the consequences of doing so - it's often my fault when something doesn't work because I'm using one of the old versions. Using FF31 to post this and do much of my eBay business in FF3.6.24)

While Windows 10 uses the newer, faster, much more standards compliant Edge browser as its default, it still ships with Internet Explorer 11. Enterprise customers with legacy systems from time to time want to make Internet Explorer 11 the default, but Microsoft doesn't think this is a good idea. Internet Explorer 11 isn't being updated to support new Web technology (and indeed, hasn't been updated for many years), existing only as a compatibility tool to access legacy "designed for Internet Explorer" content that simply won't work properly in any other browser.
As such, while it might be tempting to set Internet Explorer as the default to ensure that any intranet and line-of-business applications continue to work, that comes at a price. It will be slower, less secure, and increasingly incompatible with the broader Web as developers drop the old browser from their testing. So please, use it only when it's absolutely necessary.

IE desktop market share is approx 5%. Chrome is over 50% - if eBay breaks something in Chrome, you can legitimately get on their case

Good to hear that search is working again for you.
If your Watch list is still giving you problems, try this Summary page link instead:
