Saved Searches page

[sdchargerfan-14]

What just happened?

About 10 minutes ago, I clicked on my saved searches page.  When it came up, all the formatting was haywire; now it's basically "double-wide".  I have to reduce the font size to 50% so I don't have to scroll the width of another screen to get to the "view items" button.

My other pages are fine; it's just the "saved searches" page that just got totally F'd Up!

I am seeing the same thing on my Saved Sellers page now.

The font size on that page was always smaller than other eBay pages, so making the font smaller still to get the columns to fit on the page makes the page virtually unusable as is.

Try bookmarking this older page instead:

Same thing here - was OK until maybe an hour ago , now saved search screen messed up on all my browsers and stays that way if I clear cache. The "view items" links are literally OFF the right side of the screen - need to use scroll bar each time to see the link to click on.

Doesn't anyone at eBay test changes before rolling them out ???

It seems the change has made the saved search screen not work properly when the font size is increased from default. Up until earlier today the screen adapted to the font size and remained usable, but since the change that was just deployed, increasing the font size now pushes the clickable links off the side of the screen (see attached screen shot). It's not exactly what I'd call "accessible" any more.

This is double annoying since, as always, the left 25% of the screen is just wasted white space - not as if the layout actually needs more space.

Please revert today's change to the the "saved seaches" screen layout until you can make it work with increase font sizes again (I only use 120% font size, but ANY increase will now - per today's change - push the "view items" clickable link off the side of the page).

Thanks, but that's for saved sellers, not search.

Try this link for Saved Searches:

Thanks, now if only eBay could offer that as an option!

It might be possible to get to that page through the new Selling Overview, and selecting "switch to classic", assuming that page loads for you. Or by using the "Selling" link that appears in the My eBay drop-down menu. That works for me, but it may depend on which page you have last used.

If you bookmark that link, you do not need to rely on whatever links eBay offers.

The problem with that link, is that it brings up old, ancient searches I no longer use, and it is missing any searches I've added since it was archived.

That is quite odd. I just added a new search, and it appears on both lists for me.

If you have some searches that do not appear on the "newer" page that you do not want any more, try deleting those from the "old" list. Then sort the two lists so you can compare them and see if you can add new searches to the "old" list.

I am not an HTML/CSS guru, but it seems to me that the main problem is that they're trying to use word-wrap in a flex without turning off auto-sizing and limiting the container width. This fixes it for me. Hopefully, eBay will fix it on their end.

Sorry for replying to my own post, but Firefox users can drop the following into their userContent.css file as a temporary fix:

@-moz-document domain(www.ebay.com) {
#ssearch .my-row-r .sssearchtbl .coln2 {
       max-width:300px !important;
}
.my-container .my-row .coln1 .coln1-wrap .esearch,.my-container .my-row .coln1 .coln1-wrap .eseller {
       min-width:0 !important;
       max-width:300px !important;
}
}

See https://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2013/03/10/how-to-override-css-stylesheets-in-firefox/ for information on how to modify your userContent.css file.

That's awesome, crunchly - works like a charm !

Thanks so much for taking the time to figure this out and posting the solution.

Outstanding! Thanks for posting that.

The Saved Searches page is working for me now after implementing the change to the chrome.css file in my Firefox profile.

Here's an updated userContent.css that fixes up the column spacing and picture scaling.  It also restores the horizontal rules between the searches.  It's now close enough to the old Saved Searches page that I can stop raging at eBay and get back to buying useless old junk from them.

@-moz-document domain(www.ebay.com) {
#ssearch tr.ssRow td {
        padding:10px 8px 10px 0 !important;
        border-top:1px solid #ddd !important;
}
#ssearch .my-row-r .sssearchtbl {
        border-collapse: unset !important;
}
#ssearch .my-row-r .sssearchtbl .coln1 .coln1-wrap {
        padding-right:25px !important;
