The last several days, when I search under the "Ending Soonest" ALL LISTINGS Tab, the search only shows Auction Items or Auction Items with Buy It Now Options. It does not show any BUY IT NOW items unless as a "Sponsored" item. I wondered why with 84,000 items in my search, it only took 2 pages of items to move through a couple of days time. I would usually be searching 10 or 12 pages for a day or two worth of items.
I would be really upset if I was listing Buy It Now items and the only way someone would even see them is if they search only BUY IT NOW. I use the ALL LISTINGS Tab because I want to see ALL listings. I might bid on an item or buy it now depending on price.
Wish someone would fix this soon.

I forgot to mention but also under the "Ending Soonest" BUY IT NOW search tab, the listings come up in ending time order, then about 8-9 pages (at 200 listings per page) the ending time seems to start over, with listings ending within the hour and so on.
I doubt someone will keep searching multiple pages to get to those misplaced listings so they will never see them.
People listing Buy It Now items are really screwed.

Currently there seem to be some problems with searches, particularly "Ending Soonest" sorts. For some reason auctions and Buy-It-Now listings seem to be sorting differently, so that auctions appear first, and then after all the auction listings, the Buy-It-Now items appear. The "Newly Listed" sort also appears to have some issues as well.
You may want to try searching for just auctions or just Buy-It-Now items for each of your "Ending Soonest" searches until eBay figures this out.
See here for some discussion of the problem:
