Saved Searches corrupted with + sign

New saved searches save spaces as + signs and subsequently fail to match any items.

 

For example if I create a new saved search with these seach items:

 

1893 handel columbian exposition ticket

 

When I save the search it saves it like this:

 

1893+handel+columbian+exposition+ticket

 

and so if I click "View Items" then if finds zero matches. Happens on multiple browsers. The geniuses at ebay broke this about a week ago. Anyone else have this problem? In effect saving searches is now broken.

Re: Saved Searches corrupted with + sign

Thank you. This fix seems to work. Somewhat amazing that eBay has not responded on this. The week when the CEO of Facebook appeared in front of a US Senate hearing is not a good time for a big, unregulated monopolistic tech company to let down its customers. Jeff, do you want to have to explain to Orrin Hatch how eBay works?

Re: Saved Searches corrupted with + sign

Exact thing happening to me on two computers. Called Ebay today (4-14) and two techs were clueless. I'm running Macs on the latest OS.

Re: Saved Searches corrupted with + sign

Recently, each "saved search" I make has + (plus) signs between each word of my search title.  I have started the search as always but when I return to actually search, these plus signs are there, messing up the search...(long+sleeve+turtleneck).  This has only been happening in the past few weeks when I start a new search and save it. 

 

What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for your help.  Linda

Re: Saved Searches corrupted with + sign

I've been having the same problem.  Here's a work-around :

 

I was searching for: defi white racer pressure (it's an automotive gauge). As of this writing, I got 126 hits.  If I saved this search, the dreaded '+' sign corrupted any future executions of the search

 

Next I searched for:  defi * white * racer * pressure.  I got the same 126 hits.  When I save this search, it saves as "defi * white * racer * pressure" but that's okay.  It will execute or search properly (same number of hits).

 

I hope this is helpful.  eBay really needs to fix this programming glitch.
