EBAY: You have removed my ability to search by my listing descriptions. All of my listings are sorted via catalog information contained within the listings. I very badly need to be able to search them this way again, as I have always been able to do. I CANNOT EDIT THEM, OR MAINTAIN DATA ON THEM, IN GROUPS ANYMORE. I NEED THIS FEATURE BACK!!!

I still see the option to search active listings by description in Seller Hub.
It is possible that eBay is testing something new in certain accounts and you are seeing something different because of that.
But it might be worth trying another browser to rule out a browser issue, though.

This is how it is on Firefox and Chrome. We use a handheld scanner to scan UPC tags to quickly find and edit listings as needed, and without being able to do that, it is going to take substantially longer to edit a large amount of listings at a time. Also, doing inventory, we just grab a bin and scan the UPCs to ensure the item is listed or not. When we get new inventory, we could get duplicates of what we already have, and scanning and searching the UPC easily ensures we don't have duplicate listings, or easily restocking out of stock items... Now that's going to take substantially longer as well. I can only imagine how it's going to affect people/businesses with thousands upon thousands of listings.

UPC codes may be fairly easy to sort by for those of you who sell new items. 90% of my items have no UPC.

Right, I'm just saying I'm in the same boat as you. I can't search by UPC from the description anymore which is causing big problems for my operations.

Ah, I see.
Yes, it used to take me around 2.5 hours to do markdowns on all of my listings in groups. Now it takes 8+ hours to sort through them individually (or attempt to do so by titles), to only get most of them. It's very difficult to track what I have listed now. Ridiculous that this still isn't fixed almost two weeks later. 🙄

See if the link in the post here allows you to search your item descriptions:
If so, bookmark the link and use it until eBay restores the feature for you.
