Saved searches - advanced search - exclude words is ADDING words to saved searches!!!

[samthespaniel1]

Added a couple of new saved searches in the last couple of days. The advanced search option enables you to exclude words from a search, which is a great help to filtering results and removing items you don’t want to see. But when I now save the search, it only removes the first word I’ve chosen to exclude and actually ADDS all subsequent excluded words to the search. So, for example, I chose to exclude the terms ‘dvd’, ‘blu’ and ‘vhs’ from a recent search, but when I saved it, it only removed ‘dvd’ from the search terms and ADDED ‘blu’ and ‘vhs’. Clearly this is a major glitch. Please sort this ASAP eBay, as it seriously impairs the ability to search - and therefore BUY - items we’re looking for (which is quite important to your business!).

I tried a search and excluded those terms, then saved the search. The saved search appears to still exclude those three terms.

Can you provide a link to the original search before you saved it?

I did notice an odd effect that might be related to your issue.

I created a search with the three exclusions, then used the Advanced Search link from the search results to see if the exclusions changed; they did not. Then I searched again from the Advanced Search page; the search appeared unaffected. But if from that page I tried hitting the search button again, the three exclusions were duplicated in the keyword field. Hitting search again, once again duplicated those three exclusions. Every time I hit search, three more terms were added to the search field. And again:
