Saved search error - Using both "Used" and "Not specified" filters in "All Categories" Saved Search

[old.line]

Using a combination of both the "Used" and "Not specified" condition filters in a "All Categories" Saved Search does not save those two filters. The Saved Search clears those two condition filters and shows all items. 

For example, if you wanted to save an All Categories search for "vase" and only want "Used" and "Not specified" condition, then the Saved Search appears in Saved Searches as including all items dropping the two condition filters from the search.

The new gallery tile style is extremely inefficient/laborious to use and a waste of screen space compared to the prior straight saved searches text list style UI.

Some potential workarounds for Saved Searches can be found here:

Alternate links on the Feed page, CSS hacks for Firefox, and custom ad blocking rules to suppress the gallery images.

eBay rarely backtracks on such upgrades, though it does not hurt to ask.

I think it is only cosmetic UI at this point, but I will continue to test it.

Relatedly, can you please advocate internally for a return to the previous old UI for saved searches? The new gallery tile style is extremely inefficient/laborious to use and a waste of screen space compared to the prior straight saved searches text list style UI. It boggles my mind that someone approved and paid a developer to make such an unnecessary change...ebay's UI should maximize user efficiency, which in turn increases profits.

Thanks for following up @old.line. I'm glad to hear that the search itself is working correctly. I've passed on the UI for this and your feedback for the new saved search UI as well. As @eburtonlab noted, they rarely go back on changes like these but it never hurts to pass the feedback on. I also suggested perhaps adding the widget like the regular search has, so the buyer can select which view they prefer. Perhaps that's something they'll consider, as I know some prefer the Gallery view. 😊

Some good news @old.line! I was told that they fixed the issue with the saved search not maintaining the check box!!! 🤗

I created a new search with "used" and "not specified" as the selected condition, saved the search, and verified that the condition selections were retained for the new saved search.

Seems to now be working as advertised.

Thanks, velvet!
