eBay Modifies Search and Doesn't Allow Corrections!

[fmarotta]

I have the following Saved Search:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=tracts&_sacat=29223&_sop=15

It is intended to look for Tracts, generally religious publications.

Instead eBay modifies the results to Tracks and displays the following:

• Showing results for tracks. Search instead for tracts

When I click on "tracts" I get this message:

• We’ve streamlined your search results to show you the best listings. See more results
  Then I click on "See more results", as it only gives me 100 results.  I do NOT want streamlined results.   I know what I am looking for!
  When I click on "See more results" it changes it back to tracks with 3,900+ results.  I get this message:
  • Showing results for tracks. Search instead for tracts
  And the cycle repeats.  Bottom line is I have a perfectly good search that I can no longer execute because eBay modifies it and does not let me override the  modification successfully.   Any way to turn off eBay modifying searches?    With over 12,000 purchases I think I know what I am doing!

Put quotation marks around the word "tracts" like this:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=%22tracts%22&_sacat=29223&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=15&_blr...

Quotation marks will stop eBay from automatically expanding the search to include possible misspellings.
