The only way you're going to encounter this directly is if you search for something from day to day and get presented with dramatically different results
Can you provide an example of a search that gives you dramatically different results from day to day? Or, if you do not have an example handy, the next time you encounter such a search, could you provide a link, along with some quick details of what the search was showing previously?
eBay does make changes to the way search works from time to time, and I have encountered searches that provide differing results over time. Most folks that perform regular searches have encountered that at one time or another, I would think.
Sometimes this is due to a change in the way that something like the "Price plus shipping: lowest first" sort works; lately the filtering that sort performs is much more pronounced, and the link to "See more results" is sometimes absent.
Sometimes eBay changes categories around; this can affect older bookmarked or saved searches quite a bit once the changes take effect. Some searches need to be redone completely to be effective once again. This is disruptive to buyers that are searching, and sellers that are listing and providing item-specifics, but somehow I do not think this is what you or the original poster had in mind. Correct me if I am wrong.
eBay also changes keyword associations -- the various synonyms and spelling corrections that are offered when a user searches using a particular keyword. These can cause wildly differing search results, but only for those particular keywords involved. For one summer there was an issue with keyword associations in the Toys & Collectibles category that caused any character name to be considered a valid substitute for any other character. For anyone using any sort order other than Best Match, searching that category was challenging until that was fixed.
This should give you an idea of the sort of things I, a mere buyer, notice regarding eBay's search.
The OP told you to go watch his videos. There are tons of videos you can find on youtube demonstrating these exact problems. We don't need to prove anything to you.
You do not need to prove anything to me. But which "exact problems" are you each referring to?
You say "everyone IS experiencing it". I am still just trying to figure out what "it" is.
This seems like a good place to discuss technical issues regarding eBay. So lets discuss.
