Search glitch - results repeating first page results in multiple browsers

[alwayswong]

I've been noticing a search glitch over the past couple of hours. When I search for something and click on the second (or nth) page of results, I am shown the same results as the first page. The same results keep repeating no matter what the search parameters are.

I have tried clearing website data, logging in/out, and have used multiple browsers. The problem still persists.

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

well.... i have gotten messages before... how would i know about them?

they do streamline the search results and have for a few years 

are you saying I'm so dumb I can't see my own eBay?????  Been around and shopping for years... 198 purchases last 11 months- not my first rodeo by a long shot

surely others have posted here regarding  cut down searches it's nothing new

You encounter that message by searching and using the "Price plus shipping: lowest first" sort order. If you did not choose that sort order yourself, perhaps someone else sent you a link to a search that used that sort order.

Sorting that way is the only way to see the "We’ve streamlined your search results to show you the best listings. See more results" message.

You must have used that sort order at least once rather than "always" using "Best match".

You're right. I have posted about it and got the same reply. I've only been on this forum twice and both times it's the same person saying they have no problem, it's a problem on my end, the site is working perfectly fine, etc...

ya... know what you mean..... i look out my window and everything is grand so you can't possibly be having problems in your neighborhood.... and all the other posters.... they are full of crap... er... i mean mistaken too... must be thier feult they are having issues and i am not

Know what I noticed? .... you can't imput any perssonal experiance to address problems

no one wants to "hear" it

gave the guy some tidbits of info but they went no where .... not even as helpful actual user info..... so be it.    ?

At any given time there are fewer users responding to posts here than there are users posting about problems they are having.

If you are interested in troubleshooting the issue, the fact that there are users not having the same problem may be useful information.

That is not meant to imply that the app or site is working fine (it's not) or that you are not experiencing a problem (clearly you are) or that the problem is your fault (it's not), it is simply meant to state that problem is not universal and perhaps if you can discover the difference between your situation and the situation of someone not experiencing the problem, you may be able to avoid the problem, regardless of what eBay does about it.

@alwayswong 

Yes... there is some sort of issue happening.

Some members have been coming here over the last three (3) weeks ago and posting similer issues... myself inclded....

Please keep this bit of info in mind 

alwayswong......

the desktop version and the phone version and the mobile or app version of eBay vary greatly... the desktop version on a real pc or laptop is king. It gives you all of the options and features as a Buyer of Seller that eBay has to offer (or better said... what eBay decides to give us).

The desktop version is historically very "stable"... although it updates too the updates serm to come far less frequent ( hardly ever) and the version is imho the ebay favorite ( now you Sellers... lol... i said favorite not perfect!)

but the mobilt or phone user uskng the desktop version is faced with constant isues... most generating every Thursday night as monile updates come way to often and most don't address a currant problem but proclaim a new super duper update that ususlly then rolls out with more issues itself.....

a few months ago ATT restructured some things locally ( new cell towers, new satelite usage, etc) that affected my eBay greatly.

My issues were regarded in this forum as unimportant as their eBay was fine. Dead end. I can't be having issues cuz you are not.... what bullcrap.....

after a spell of 3 weeks of not being able to view pics in Listings  .... so you say your sales are doen huh?).... i contacted help thru Google and asked why is this happening.....

ya i got a bumch of general answers but i got some other great info too... and i'm no fan of AI but long, long story short,..... made 4 or 5 purchases in last few days and that only happened cuz i could see the pics....

try google next time... i know sounds dumb but they give you info and treat you better

edit: Hey forum folks.... i am sorry about the typos and i hate to hell to say this .... i am blind in one eye and use a jewelers loop in my other eye to read.. even write my own name.....

so i have to proof tead my posts and correct stuff as i go... this post was rather long so i said heck with it... please don't feel disrespected

i still like proper spelling and stuff too
