Only 5 items in search

I recently started getting only 5 items (plus adds) in any search for any item I try to find on ebay. Needless to say, this is making ebay unusable. Anyone know what's going on?

When posting a comment like this, it's important to include details about your machine/software.

What OS are you using?
What browser are you using?
What platform are you using?
Are you using an ad block app?

I'm using an up-to-date Windows 10 machine with an up-to-date Chrome browser on the desktop platform with Adblock Plus.

I'm seeing the results I'd expect to see. I searched for my last name, and there were 11,751 results. There were 200 on a page, and it showed nine pages, with additional pages I didn't bother to check.

@anvoice,

 

Using a laptop windows 8 and firefox, I am getting many search results some with more than 1 page set to show 50 items.

Try clearing your browser cache.

 

See this thread for more details:

@pburn Thank you, here is my info:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Browser: Firefox
Platform: Dell XPS-13 laptop
Not using ad block app.

@eburtonlab
Thank you, but no results. Clearing the cache (all of it) still results in 5 search items per page.

More info: when first doing a search, I see a page full of listings, then they get truncated within a second or so to 5.

When you say "all of it" do you mean "all time" as opposed to the default "last hour"? I have seen one report that clearing cache for "all time" worked where shorter spans did not.

I just noticed this as well.  I am thinking they were hacked.

That isn't working for anyone. It is an eBay issue, not an issue with everyone else.

Yeah me too! And a bunch of ads at the bottom of the page. **bleep**!?

Mine is doing EXACTLY as you described. I've tried cache cleaning and such and still the same. Thinking it may be an E-BAY problem and not our computers?
