Filtering function of search results

The filter options are not working in trading cards and other collectibles. All my saved searches result in an error. When searching in trading cards, you cannot specify which sport or era you want to search.  Other options have vanished also.  The filters that are available do not work and the results take too long to comb through.  I have saved money though because I haven't made a purchase since these changes took place last week.  

The previous filters were great, now the search function is broken. Restore the filters.

Re: Filtering function of search results

eBay has reorganized the Collectibles category, eliminating some of the smaller categories. This likely has caused some of your saved searches to no longer work. If you cannot use the saved searches as a starting point and change the category from there, you may need to create some new searches.

 

What seems to work for me is to start with a search using keywords -- if you are trying to browse a category and you do not know what keywords to use, try words from the category name. From your search results, try narrowing the category using the links on the left side of the page. Then see what filters are available for that category.

 

For instance, to search for baseball cards, start searching using the keywords baseball cards. If you are looking for individual cards, try the Single Card category; but you are looking for sets or lots, change the category to either of those. Then take a look at the filters to narrow your search further.

Re: Filtering function of search results

I was disappointed to see the ERA filter go too. It has definitely cut back the number of bids I have offered.
